Vitamin issue Celebrate

[Elahnen 183]

Hi, I just started a new Vitamin Celebrate One 45.
It’s a large capsule so I was surprised my dietician recommended it. I have been fine on the other Vitamins I have taken up until this one.
Within 20mins of taking it I got nauseated and just felt off. Has anyone had any issues with this one? Not sure if it’s bc it’s so big, or if just being new I need to get used to it. I have a call out to my dietician but she doesn’t call back for several weeks and my surgeon says call the dietician lol. Not sure if I should try it again tomorrow to see if I get used to it. The only time o ever had an issue with a Vitamin was when I took a Iron pill years ago and it instantly made me sick… maybe to much Iron in this? Any thoughts?

I’ve always got nauseous when taking Multi Vitamins even before surgery. Didn’t matter what brand. I wondered if it’s because I’ve never really needed to take them cause my blood work has always been good???? 🤷🏻‍♀️

People have mentioned Iron & my dietician said it can also be the B Vitamins (don’t know if it’s one specifically or a combination of them).

Make sure you have something solid in your tummy before you take it but I’d probably go back to taking your old vitamins until you’re dietician calls you back.

I stopped taking them once I hit maintenance with my surgeons ok. My blood work is still very good.

I'm not sure, but I get sick from Vitamins with Iron, also. I ended up buying capsules without iron, snd I can open them up and sprinkle the powder on applesauce. I hope you feel better soon!

Iron and B Vitamins (I think it's B1 - but I can't remember which "B" it is) can both make people nauseated. With iron, some forms are easier on G/I systems than others (e.g., carbonyl iron and heme iron -- there may be others, too), so you could always get a "senior" version of a multi (those usually don't contain iron - but check) and then take your iron separately. Not sure how to get around the issue if it's the B Vitamin that's doing a number on you, though I guess just try a different brand?
