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*

I have this problem, too, but it's because of the concentration of potassium in some of them. I also can't eat a lot of high-potassium food without bad stomach cramping - unless I'm working out hard enough to sweat out the extra.

One-A-Day's are out for me, too, but Geritol has always been OK.
