Why is it that multi-vitamins make me incredibly sick to my stomach? Even if I take one during or after a meal, I still feel horribly nauseated 15 minutes later. The Trader Joe's Once Daily makes me the *least* upset to the stomach of all the ones I've found (One-A-Day will literally put me straight to borderline vomiting for a good 20-30 minutes), but even then it's a slight nausea and burning sensation. Even the smell of most brands makes my throat crawl, which is bad when they also make me... er... burp. Doesn't help.

Can anyone recommend one that *doesn't* do this?

I can't seem to narrow down what it is that's causing the upset, but I think it's a B-complex component. Which is, of course, something I could probably use more of.

Now if you'll excuse me... *urp*

Lots of people report this side-effect of multivitamins - I used to have a little of it, but it seems to have improved over time. Also, I take them on a full stomach - for me that helps.

Sadly, I never found out how to avoid this effect.
