sudden onset of vitamin issues

I have the Celebrate chewable vitamins. I started taking one a day a few eels before surgery, stopped them the week of surgery, and resumed with two a day (recommended dose) the day I got home from the hospital. I never had a problem with them. Last night the vitamin made me extremely nauseous. I skipped it this morning but tried again tonight. I laid down to go to sleep less than 5 minutes after taking it, and withintwo minutes I was racing to the bathroom. Luckily nothing actually came up, but it was not a fun experience. Any ideas what the problem might be?
  
I haven't had my surgery yet but I have always had a problem with vitamins making me nauseous if I dont take them with food.  Even the ones the surgeon gave me to start taking I still have to have a couple spoons of yogurt or a piece of fruit when I eat it ,  sure enough it will make a grand re-appearance :(  Are you taking it on an empty tummy?

I'm the same way now POST op with vitamins.

I'm super low on iron and B's so i take the following daily....

A multi vitamin pack(7 pills), D3, iron, vitamin c and b complex.

I think its something like 15 pills in a day. I have to spread those lil suckers out over the course of the day so i don't get queasy.......and i can't take some with others cause of the absorption, etc.

The problem is our small tummies!!!! Not really a problem but a little trade off.......

 

         

I did the EXACT same thing!!  I was taking the unjury chewable multivitamin.  Took it for 3 days, and I was fine.  The fourth day I ate it and it just came right back up (ugh).  I tried again the next day, eating small portions of it, and it made me feel sick so I stopped.  Can't figure it out.

 i cant do chewables, or i will vomit, so i swolow the pills
I don't lay right down after drinking or taking meds or vitamins because I'm worried something might come back up especially being newly sleeved. But I would call your doctor about other alternatives for vitamins

you can't take your vitamins with out having food in your tummy! I did the same thing and I got very nauseous and the to the bathroom I ran
Thanks for all the help. I'm going to try to take them with food and see if that helps. I don't know why I didn't think of that!
  
I take Celebrate as well... and b4 surgery didn't have to take w/ food and did fine. But post surgery I am learning if I don't take w/ food it makes me feel blech! I thought it was because I tried a different flavor for a long time but replaced w/ old flavor and was doing same thing.
