I've been getting nauseated over a lot of stuff lately and thought it was just me being a hypochondriac again but I was just reading the reviews for One-A-Day on drugstore.com and quite a few people apparently have problems with nausea and vomiting after taking a multi-vitamin.
I was taking my vitamins with a big glass of water as soon as I'd get up in the morning and then have a cup of coffee. No problems till recently and then it felt like an alien was about to pop out of my chest.
Anyone else have issues with this? Solutions/recommendations?

I eat a salad everyday, usually a spinach one and I put a lot of raisins in my oatmeal yet I'm still low in iron. Any other brainiac suggestions Dr Frankenstein?

Tried taking them with milk, toast, milk and bread...blerk!
Coffee's been doing the same thing off and on, and NO I'm not pregnant!

Eat more green veggies among other things. That list is pretty useful. Hope it helps.
Ooooh, steamed clams are high in iron!
I was drinking miso soup but got bored with it... between the tofu and the seaweed, I should've been all set... but I kept getting turned down at the blood bank because of my iron level even taking iron supplements.
Maybe I'll give the miso another try, that would be a nice snack at work anyway.

Do you like oysters? They are rich in iron. If not then forget I ever mentioned it.
Oysters and Their Nutritional Value
Oysters are not only delicious, but they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1(thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.
I've never had oysters, is there any other way to eat them besides raw? And remember, I live in Momoland, we don't have a lot of deli kind of foods in my area.

you really need them fresh for this, but if you ever get the chance at a restaurant...this is scrumptious!

No, I'm fresh out for now. Your demoralizing and condescending way of talking to me not only hurts my feelings, it makes my dick shrink to a fig-like object.
Fig-like? You flatter yourself.

That looks and sounds fantastic. I love shellfish anyway, and I'm sure I'd love that.
Argh, now I'm hungry! Maybe I'll go have some sardines.

They sell smoked oysters in a can at the grocery store. They're nothing like a fresh oyster, but they're not too bad on a cracker with hotsauce and they still have all the nutritional value.

Mmmm ... you guys are making me think back to the days before we had kids ... where we went on vacations constantly. We would be on the beach having raw clams all the time. We would wake up, go to the beach, and then go eat raw clams with me stoned off my ass.

You could very well have too much iron in your system.
It's simple to get your iron level checked. Too much iron can make you nauseous after taking a vitamin with iron. The solution? Take vitamins without iron.

Ok, well that rules out my suggestion.
I would still guess that it's something in the vitamins you're taking which is making you ill. Some vitamin you don't need or something.
Have you tried taking pills with JUST iron in them?
As for oysters, I like them pretty much any way, but lightly breaded and fried is damned good too.

Dr. Oz says to break your one a day in half and take it twice a day, because by afternoon you lose all the good vitaminy goodness or something.
Try taking half a dose at a time maybe. I don't like this because there are big old rough edges left after you break it. They should make a two a day.
I take a big handfull of vitamins and herbs and shit like twice a day, usually with my meal but not always. I don't have any problems.
I almost puked myself to death eating the smoked canned oysters. I must have had some bad ones, I could never make myself try another.

I love raw oysters, but I've never had raw clams. I like them steamed, but I've never thought about ordering them raw. I'll have to try it one day, I'd imagine they're a son of a bitch to shuck.
