I bought some zinc because I read it will help with hair loss. After taking it once I violently dry heaved for a full two hours. Miserable! The dr today said she too took zinc and it made her really sick as well. Just a thought.

I heard iron can do that also, try taking a multi-vitamin instead and at night

I've heard of zinc making some people's stomaches hurt if taken on an empty stomach.

It could be either one.  I use to have problems with multivitamins, so I now take my vitamins with food.  I take the multivitamin first and then eat.  I quit having problems and my blood tests have been perfect.

saw dr. yesterday for my 3 month post op and he suggested instead of taking all the vitamins at once (yup... i was) he suggested taking one, waiting an hour, taking another, waiting an hour......so i'll give that a try.

make sure you EAT with vitamins. i only get sick with my multivitamin - not my iron, b12, or D. but I still throw up or get nauseous if I take my multi on an empty stomach.
