So I've been taking the ProCare Health One A Day Vitamin with 45 mg of Iron for probably about a month now. In the beginning I had no issues with them (whether I had food in my stomach or not) but for the last week or two I feel nauseous for like 15 min or more after taking them. To be fair I don't always have something in my stomach when taking them so that's understandable, but many times I at least have some fruit or an egg before taking it in the am.

Just wondering if anyone else has issues too? What do you eat before taking it? I wonder if I should just switch to taking it after dinner instead. After I've eaten something of more substance? Not sure why it was fine initially and now I'm having issues.

I asked the nurse practitioner if I should stop taking it with the shake because of the Calcium. She said so far everything looks great so keep doing what I’m doing. She explained that it isn’t that calcium or iron cancels the other out. They are just absorbed into the same place so they compete to get absorbed. I guess since there is so much iron even if the calcium wins a little bit I still absorb as much as i need. I am also 7 months out and can eat more than most at this stage so I am absorbing a lot from food as well.

Thank you so much for letting me know!!! I really appreciate it. Now I can be more relaxed about when I take each of them. So good to know.
