how do you keep your vitamins down?

[ash 5]

I totally barfed tonight for the first time since my surgery. It's the Multivitamin. The problem is you are supposed to take them with a meal, but if you can't DRINK with a meal, then how do you do that???

I'm still not eating enough, got a sinus thing going on, going back to work this week, and just feeling a little miserable. Not to mention this one incision of mine is totally OPEN and not healing. "whine"

I had to take mine with yogurt or applesauce and had to cut them into small pieces in order to be able to do so.

Sorry you're having problems with your incision - you might want to get that checked out if it doesn't close up soon.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need to try something different with the Vitamins.

I called my Dr about the incision last week because it was ooozing some pretty nasty stuff, and they told me to wash it with antibacterial soap and treat it with neosporin under a bandage. It looks awful, but the skin around it isn't too red or anything. I have a follow up appt next week, so hopefully if it's not better by then, the Dr will be able to do something for it.

I take mine at bed time.....with milk. I had to do this cause I am still taking prenatal....breast feeding and the extra Iron......

I sometimes eat a cracker or something little after......but they usually make me nausious.

Get used to them if you get pregnant....they only get worse! (they do have a chewable prenatal. I just swallow mine!

I am taking 2 children's chewable with Iron everyday. Once this bottle is gone, I'll be switching back to the GNC chewables. I haven't had a problem with the taste of either of these.

I'm really sorry you are having trouble with Vitamins. I think Vegas has the solution of mixing them in something that is easy to get down.

I take mine first, then drink a Protein drink after. If I have something different for Breakfast, I take my Vitamin then have Breakfast.

I got some liquid Vitamins at costco that I took for awhile too.

I use Water. The whole drinking with your meals thing is a guideline, not a law. There are really good reasons not to drink with your meal, but there are good reasons to take Vitamins with food (they work better). So I use as little water as possible and I take them right before I eat. That's my compromise between the "don't drink with your meals" principle and the "take your vitamins with food" principle.

That's what I have been doing too! Glad I'm not the only one. I think my problem with the night I got sick was because I took the vitamins after I ate, not before. Last night I took them before my meal and I was fine.

Thanks all!

I'm eating pureed chili for Breakfast. This is my first day back to work (even though I've been working setting up my classroom since last week), so wish me luck!

Brandi, welcome to the forums. I didn't know costco had adult Gummy Vitamins, I may have to check that out.

Ash, good luck today!

I was thinking the exact same thing - on both counts - so I second your thoughts to both Brandi and Ash.
