can Vitamin pills make you vomit
Hmmmm. I take a b1 supplement. It comes in a capsule form. It doesn't tastes or smell. When I switched from a chewable multivitamin to a swallow pill multivitamin it made my stomach hurt. Bad. I never threw up but it gave me a knot in my stomach so I switched back. I would talk to your surgeon or call the dietician.
best of luck to you!
I have always hated swallowing pills, especially the big vitamin or mineral types! I was thankful that I could find everything I needed to take in a chewable. I tried to switch to the calcium petites, to save the extra calories. I was able to take it once, the next time I just kept gagging on it. I went back to the chewables and will not likely go back.

Sometimes it is helpful to take pills with a lot of water. That washes the pills out of your pouch and into the intestine where you cannot throw it up (and it is FAR less likely to make you feel sick). Nothing gets absorbed in the pouch, anyway, so there is no reason not to take several swallows of water to wa**** through.
You can also try a different brand of B1 to see if it has the same effect.

try a different brand. A capsule probably won't smell or taste bad. I'm pretty sure you can also take B1 injections if you prefer.

Some of the vitamins and some of my meds smelled REALLY bad for a while. When i opened the bottles my stomach would turn and I would get so nauseated. I left the vitamins on the counter for a while before I took them. Also sometimes, especially with the multi, it helps to have just a little bit of food in my pouch, because it has niacin in it, which tends to upset my stomach.
I am 6 years post op and some pills are still no-go. I try to get most if my vitamins in capsules. I take extra B1 in capsule form and it has no smell at all.. Maybe yours have fillers or any other vitamin in the pill.
And yes- some pills make me sick, nausea, pain, burping or even throwing up.

I have a couple supplements that make me gag. I take them right before bed and I fall asleep before the burping or nausea gets to the point where I vomit. I had to do the same thing when I took prenatal vitamins years ago when I was pregnant.
Just a thought and worth a try.
