Vitamins ... I get sick!

I don't know if this will help but I always take my multi vitamins before I go to bed.

Also try Nature Made Chewable Multi vitamins. Generally anything chewable doesn't make me sick, anything in hard pill form does. Good luck finding one that works for you!

I am not a dietician/neutrician but once an MD told me that eating each of the following each day and you will have most of your vitamins naturally:

1 Banana
1 Orange
1 Apple

However, you need to research more and preferrably ask your doctor how to eat your vitamins naturally.

My doctor told me to take them right before bed. That helped me to be able to keep down my prenatals when I was pregnant. Hope you find something that works for you. If not, I just wouldn't take them and make sure you eat well balanced meals.

Typically I can slow 2-3 pills at a time even without water...however, sometimes I'm like you and I feel like I will throw up :frown:

I take vitamins in the morning out of habit (is it better to take them at night???)...and if I take them when I have eaten something, and not just on an empty stomach or only having drank coffee, I am always ok.

Good luck on a solution that works for you :flowerforyou:

I take them at night too because they make me queazy! or my mom told me what Thomas suggested a banana (good potassium too! lol)

I have to buy some more powedered vitamins for my son because he will not swallow pills or eat a chewable...we've tried them all...so I found a good powder but its for children....when I go to wholefoods today I'll see if they have anything like that for adults....so then you'd just sprinkle it on some cereal (or hide it on some cereal like I have to do for you know who lol) or something!

hugs!

You can try to take two children's vitamins instead,. take them before you go to sleep with just a little milk.

I take the GNC Women's Mega's and as long as I take them immediately after eating, I don't have any problems.

I think you need to compare all the vitamins you have tried so far and identify the common ingredients to see exactly what it is that is making you nauseous.

It might be that you may have to buy your vits individually and in compounds...make sure you get the ones that say chelated as they are easier to digest.

I am the same way. I had to stop. This included pre-natals, children's chewable and all of the above. Nothing ever worked. You may just be ultra sensitive. The only thing I could/can do is eat a 100 % fortified cereal.

I second that. If you struggle with vitamins, then try having a bowl of Total cereal everyday. 3/4 cup of original Total plus 1/2 cup skim milk is about 150 calories and you load up on almost all of your vitmins and minerals, without an upset stomach.
And with a healthy diet consisting of fuits and veggies, (more color and darker often means higher nutritional value) color you should be good to go.

I take my vitamins before bedtime and I've never had an issue with them. Maybe you could try doing that and see how it works out.

Sometimes If I take it with a meal I get sick too, so now I wait about 15-20 min then take my daily and my vitamin c. Try that...drink a full glass of water too that helps me.
