B vitamins can make you puke, right?
In supplement form, that is? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I started taking a multi-vitamin yesterday, because I've been sick for about four of the last five weeks, and within five or ten minutes of swallowing them today, I began puking profusely. I did neglect to eat something before I took them, so I'm guessing that was my foible.

1. Could be the zinc too.
Zinc in pill form upsets my stomach big time.

2. Oh, yeah! Zinc tablets used to make me nauseous,
now that you mention it. Could've been that, too.

3. I cannot take any vitamin supplements on an empty stomach.
Or for that matter, any type of pill when I haven't eaten.

7. It's the multi, not just the Bs
Eat a piece of toast or a couple of crackers when you take your vite, or drink a glass of milk/soy.

I can't take any multivites on an empty stomach. Blech.

8. I'm compelled to take B12 tablets... or B-complex.
Neither makes me vomit.

Better check to see if there's a bun in the oven. :(

Or :), it depends on your point of view.

10. There is NO bun in the oven!
Other physical occurances, at present, indicate as such. That, and the three-years-ago vasectomy!

13. You should never take a multivitamin
on an empty stomach.

It's probably the zinc that did it...however, some of the vitamins are fat soluble, and need to be taken with food to be properly absorbed.

You're basically wasting money taking them on an empty stomach (even when you're not puking them up)...

17. Oh, God yes
I ended up in the back of an ambulence after drinking a glass of fizzy vitamin drink on an empty stomach. It triggered a violent laxative and vomiting effect. I could not get up and nearly passed out I was so sick.

I know people pay good money to have their systems purged but this was not my intention. It was awful and scary, too. THe emergency room kept me for a few hours getting my temperature back up to normal and my fluids up.

Live and learn.

18. Niacin (the flush form) in high doses
can make some people nauseous, but I've taken megadoses of many of the B vitamins for years without problems. Some supplements that DO bother my stomach are: Zinc, Grape Seed Extract, Ginko Biloba, Ginseng and particular amino acids such as L-Arginine and L-Glutamine. Sulphur (MSM) sometimes bothers my stomach as well.
