Dry heaving after taking Procare vitamin!!!!



Recommended Posts

My goodness!!! I was driving and took my ProCare Vitamin with 45 mg of Iron. It has gotten stuck before so I was sure to drink lots of water! My mouth started watering excessively I started dry heaving! I grabbed some Water and chugged then threw it up and continued to do this a few minutes!!! What happened! Has anyone else experienced this!

Well I take chewables due to dysphagia from my EOS so if you're having issues like that maybe try switching to a chewable? Maybe you're just not tolerating the non-chewables for some reason...

A lot of people experience nausea from Iron supplements, especially if taking them on an empty stomach. It might help to take it with food. Also, there are different forms of iron. I just checked the ProCare Multivitamin and it contains ferrous fumarate. Carbonyl iron and chelated iron tend to be easier on the stomach.

I put my Vitamins in a little one ounce cup, like a medicine cup and toss them back. I think this would work well with one big one too. If I'm having trouble I take them with a thick liquid like Protein Shake or Tomato juice. Full stomach is a good idea.

Same here. I have to plan it out that I have a cracker or a small bite of food in my stomach, take the Vitamin with a few ounces of Water. I have also put the vitamin in a cup of water for 1-2 minutes so it slides down easier. I have done this at times when I have not felt well or after an episode like you just had.

some of the B Vitamins can cause nausea, too. I had trouble with those early out, but I've been taking them without issue for awhile now..

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
