Why do I feel sick when I take vitamins for adolescents (14-18 years)?!


Question: Why do I feel sick when I take vitamins for adolescents (14-18 years)?
Started recently when I take one pill daily and drink it with water...I feel really sick and want to vomit and my stomach feels empty. It says in the bottle take with meal and I did.

Do you know why or could I be allergic to the ingredients?

Answers:

Definitely possible that you could be allergic to something in it - but if you were seriously allergic you'd be pretty sick after taking it so it's unlikely. You'd get more than just the feeling. Do you feel like you want to vomit literally straight after taking it? Or are you not used to taking pills? The feeling of swallowing a large pill can have that effect on some people. It's more of a psychological thing than physical. The only other thing I can think of is, are you eating it before the meal? I would try eating it after, so the ingredients aren't as 'raw' on your stomach. It's funny though because most vitamin tablets I know don't say you have to take them with food.

Either way, vitamin tablets aren't too important if you eat enough fruit/veg a day. I would just try a different brand or stop taking them - don't get too worried about it. You could also try some that just dissolve in water so you wouldn't have to swallow a whopping great pill! Fish oil/omega 3 tablets are probably more important than vitamin tablets, especially for people your age. Maybe look up the benefits online and give them a go. Hope that helped!



Hey....giirl well first off thats perfectly normal...when i take vitamins the same thing happens to me....i feel empty and want to throw up....your body is probably just trying to get use to it so dont worry just keep doing what your doing or try a different brand =) good luck
