Multivitamin Making Me Sick?



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with their Multivitamin making them get sick. I have always had a big problem with taking Vitamin D, but never Multivitamins. I am now taking the Celebrate brand as recommended by my NUT. Since I've started it post-op it has always made me nauseous, but this morning I actually ended up throwing it up. I have gotten close to getting sick other days. I am supposed to be taking it twice a day, but now that doesn't really seem realistic. I had to stop taking one medicine last year because it did this to me. What brand/type/amount of multivitamin do you take? My NUT did say she'd like me to take a chewable, not a Gummy. Has anyone ever had this problem? What helped? I see my NUT on Thursday, but I don't feel like I should just quit taking multivitamins until then, so any advice is helpful. Thanks!

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com has a chewable multi-Vitamin that is specially made for wls patients and you only have to take it once a day. I think it was $19.95 for a bottle of 90. I've been getting use to the Protein powders and they're really yummy. I haven't tried the Vitamins yet as I'm trying to get rid of my Centrum before my surgery.

Good luck!!

I got very nauseous taking the chewable multi Vitamin from Bariatric Advantage. I am going to try and take it at night. But I agree, taking it twice per day doesn't seem possible because it makes me so sick.

Those are the same one I take and they make me sick too! I actually threw mine up so I do still take them but at night after dinner. They still make me nauseous but not quit as bad. I will never take them in the morning again!

I also get sick from the Bariatric Advantage multiple Vitamin. Other brands haven't made me sick in the past, so I am probably going to switch to something else.

I use flinstone chewables-the gummies don't have thiamin so my nut advised against using them.

I am also using flinstone chewables, but I use the tablets and not the gummies. I take two at a time. They do have thiamin (B1). They are not making me sick. I liked the taste at first. Now that I am near the end of the bottle, I don't like them as much.

I have a bottle of Once-A-Day Vitacraves which are gummies. They make a lot of different sub-types of Vitacraves, but I don't believe any of them have thiamin. I take the Bariatric Advantage B-50 complex in addition to my multi Vitamin, so I am sure that I get enough in. These have not made me feel sick, but I was also recommended against using the Gummy form of Vitamins.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I will have to see what I can find at the store tomorrow. Maybe the Celebrate just has way too much of everything for my stomach to handle?

I had very immediate nauseous response to both BA and Celebrate Vitamins. I gave up on them and am now taking GNC be whole multivitamins. They are regular Vitamins that you swallow but not difficult for me at all. Incidentally, I have been searching for physiological reasons why they made me so sick and the ingredients are very similar to the GNC vitamins except that there is Iodine in the bariatric vitamins, which isn't in the GNC. I'm not saying that's the cause, but I don't know why the reaction is so strong for so many people.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
