    My vitamin makes me sick...

    I bought vitamins for "mature" people (no iron).
    Every time I take them they make me sick. Yes, I take it with food, and I don't take them right before bed. What else can I try?
    Started 8/31/09: 235.8lbs.
    9/29/09: 227.0
    10/13/09: 224.0 (yes, it's slow, but it's still happening!)
    Goal: 140 lbs. AND...
    I'd like a regular bath towel to fit all the way around me.
    I'd like to be able to fit into clothes bought at a regular store, not a store for "large women".
    I'd like to go on the annual rafting trip with my kids, confident that if I get tossed out of the raft into the river, I'll be able to hoist my backside back in with a minimum of embarasment!

    I don't have a problem with my multivitamin as long as I am taking it with food. You might need to try different brands. Is the one you are taking now a slow-release formula? I've heard some people do better with those (feel less nauseated). Never tried them myself though.

      I thought i was the only one who couldnt keep there vitamin down. I use to take a gel cap vitamin that didnt seem to bother me as much, But have not been able to locate one, and cannot remember what brand it was. So I will be on the lookout for one, hope you find something that works for you.

        I find some vitamin brands are worse than others. Same goes for fish oil capsules. I had one that had me burping up cod breath all day. LOL I would suggest finding a different brand. I have also heard that the slow release formula helps. Might be worth a try.

        GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
        GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND

         It's not about the results. Its about the process.

          Sometimes it is just one ingredient in the pill that doesn't agree with your stomach... are there any 'extras' in your vitamins (i.e. gingko biloba) other than straight vitamins/minerals?

            This is very interesting! I started taking my multi-vitamins again on Friday, and since then, I've been sick every day. I never connected the two, but perhaps that is why! Might be time to try a new brand.
