It was the prenatal vitamins

For the past week, I have been having digestive issues. Never a stomach ache, just digestive problems that are different than my IBS or chronic constipation (it was almost the opposite). It started getting terrible at like 4/5am every day.  So I switched what I was eating and drinking. No change. Then I realize that I just ran out of my old prenatal (Women's One-a-Day prenatal) and replaced them with some generics to save money (Spring Valley). I thought that might be the problem, so 3 days ago, I stopped taking them. And now, all systems are a go!

Anyone else have problems with their vitamins?

    I've had to stop taking mine too because of digestive issues. I tried so many different kinds, and still the same result. I'm not taking any right now :( I'm really trying to focus on getting all of my vitamins in, especially folic acid, each day. It's tough though!!

    I'm not experienced it, but I have heard that it can cause stomach issues.  So glad you're feeling better!!!

    I've finally come to the conclusion that my prenatals are making me sick to my stomach.  I took it last night and right before bed I started getting the heaves.  So today I took it after lunch and about a half hour later I felt sick again.  I'm gonna switch to the ones my OB gave me tomorrow and see if that makes me feel any better.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to pick up some more Women's One-a-day and pray that they'll be okay.  I was taking those since June with no problems, so hopefully I can go back to them without a problem.

    Usually it's because they have iron in them.  I had a problem when I took my prenatal and folic acid at the same time.  Now I take one in the morning and one at night.  No poblem!

    I had lots of issues with the One A Day Women's multi. The iron made me so sick and K even threw up several times. Since switching to a gummy without iron I have been doing great.

    I had issues with the One-a-Day too - I think it was too potent for me.  I had to cycle through several prenatals, and ended up getting a prescription prenatal that was gentler on the stomach.
