They may make you feel nauseous if you take them on an empty stomach.
Taking vitamins with food also helps them get to the large intestines where they can be absorbed.
You may want to consider a liquid multivitamin as they have better absorption rates than pills.

Taking vitamins on an empty stomach can cause nausea and may not be thoroughly absorbed by your system. With food is the best way to take vitamins - it will be assimilated much more efficiently into the system, and won't cause abdominal distress.

The high concentrations of the minerals and vitamins can be toxic to the cells of the stomach.
