vitamins making me sick?

[vixie123]

Hi,

Everytime I take my vitamin, I get heartburn and sometimes feel a little dizzy. Im taking New Chapter Every Woman. Its an all organic vitamin. Has anyone else experianced this? Whats going on? Im thinking about stopping the vitamin.


Thanks

Vixie

My wife has a similar issue with her pre-natal vitamins. Take them in the middle of a meal. Like with either dinner or breakfast. The extra food in the stomach helps minimize the impact of the vitamins. Doing that (on the advice of her doctor) really helped a lot.

I sometimes have problems with vitamins making my stomach upset, especially when I was pregnant. I found if I took them before bed I didn't have any problems.

If I don't take mine within very close proximity to eating, I WILL throw up. The minerals are hard on the tummy.

Thanks for the replies. I have been taking them at night on an empty stomach because I thought I would absorb more of the vitamin that way. But now, I think I will try it with my dinner. I never thought a vitamin could have that effect. Go figure.


Thanks again,

Vixie

Some of the vitamins in your vitamin interact better with food anyway. They can be very harsh on an empty stomach.

I just do what I did when I was pregnant and taking prenatals - I take them right before I go to bed. That way I sleep through the :vomit feeling and still get the benefits.
