Answer 1

If you get sick when you take a vitamin it means that your body doesn't need it. The same thing happened to me so I called the Doctor and that's what he said.

Answer 2

I was going to say that you should eat prior to taking the pill, but you do that. You may be having an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the vitamin. If you have a health food store that carries supplements near you, maybe go and see them and explain your illness problem and they might have something you can take that won't make you sick.

Answer 3

I found some vitamin supplements were hard on an empty stomach, so changed to taking them with a meal.... 800 calories just might keep a hampster alive which may have something to do with it!

Answer 4

1] take your vitamins with food
2] under 800 calories will cause depletion of all required nutrition, AND could permanently alter your metabolism [ for the worse! ]
You should eat a minimum of 1200 a day, if you are a tiny little person.
3] take vitamins with a meal you feel best at -breakfast, lunch, dinner - you pick. Make sure you had some bread, cereal, pasta, or rice with it.

Answer 5

A lot of woman are allergic to iron in the multi-vitamins (including myself).... Try a vitamin with less or zero iron, these are available.

Answer 6

Empty stomach and vitamins don't mix.

Also, cheap vitamins tend to make one more susceptible to upset stomach.
