So my question is, is it normal for a multi vitamin to make me feel very sick everytime I take it? Every night I take Opurity orange berry chewable, and every night i end up in the bathroom with the foamies. And then I feel very sick for the rest of the night. I am not sure if this is normal or simi normal, or if maybe there is another way to take them that will help. Right now i cut them in half and chew it up then wa**** down with some water or powerade zero then do the other half. I am not taking any other meds with it, everything else is morning or lunch.

I have been taking these for about 2 weeks or so, and the last few nights they have made me sick but not before then.

Most chewable vitamins made me feel sick.  Try a different brand of chewable, or take pills you swallow instead.  Or try ENS from Celebrate, which is a drink mix that is a multi plus 500 mg calcium.

I take my vitamins with some food.  I take them with a little yogurt or oatmeal or I get sick also.  This might not work for everyone, but it works for me.  Good luck to you!

I take all my vitamins and medicines with food and have never had a problem with nausea.  

I have no doubt that taking any pill on an empty pouch would make me feel nauseaous - as would crushing or chewing them .    first.

 I had problems with Opurity chewables and returned them to the company for a refund. My issue was blisters and cracked tongue in my mouth. But then I realized that the culprit was actually Crystal Light. Too much acid or artifical sweeteners. By process of elimination, you will find out what is bothering your stomache. I find I get very nauseus when I don't get enough water. I am going to take the Opurity again only because I couldn't find another multi vitamin out there that offered as much vitamins for the money and I only have to take one a day. Now I chew it a little at a time and mix a little water in my mouth as I swallow it. Small little sips and it goes down easier.

I have vanilla Bariatric Advantage multi vits.  I cru**** up and add it to my AM protein shake.  Works for me.

I had a major problem with nausea for the first 10 weeks post-op until I realized it was my chewable vitamins. I have switched to Centrum under 50 and make sure I take them with my first allowable drink after eating. I thought i was losing my mind until I figured it out.
