My doctor has prescribed me to be on one-a-day women's vitamins as well as an extra vitamin d. I have trouble keeping them down after I take them. About an hour and half afterwards, I have horrible stomach pain. I take them with food (and try as hard as I can to eat protein to help with the increase iron).
Does anyone have any ideas?

Well that doesn't sound good!
is the multi vitamin large?
Lots of them are large, and they smell gross.
vitamin D is good.
high doses of lots of B is very good!
Everyone needs vitamins but the D and Bs are most helpful for mood.
Then C and calcium and Iron are very important for immune and being a women ;)
Maybe switching to a really good b-complex since they are generally smaller and not as gross. There are B-complexes that have iron and vitamin C as well.
usually you can find supplements of D and calcium combined.
I'm not a B vitamin expert but I know it helps for a lot of things.
When I was a kid, I was prescribed B-complex to help my depression.
in a pinch, something like EmergenC is good. it has a lot of good stuff in it and comes in many flavors. lol
Personally I really notice a change in my mood and energy levels when i am up on my b complex and D.

My pharmacist suggested chewing up a couple of Flintstone Vitamins. Even though the dose is one pill he said 2 are okay and in fact that is the dosage that expecting mothers take.

I can't take multi vitamins either so I take A LOT of what I know is good for me. I'm not sure what is in them, but I have tried different ones and different times with bad results.

Hi Hk,
I decided to try chewable and so far it seems to be working. :) Multivitamins are weird in that way.
