Futurebiotics Hair, Skin & Nails vitamins:what am i doing wrong?

[bluediamond0829]

okay i just started trying to take these but i notice that ive had some issues with stomach cramps from them also...i havent taken vitamins in a very long time...the first time i took them i did take it along with a prenatal(multi-vitamin), acne med, and i think my topomax(sp?)(used to prevent migraines)....

i had a slight upset stomach yesterday morning when i tried to take it...but i just didnt take my prenatal vitamin along with it because of the stomach cramps i had got from the first time i took it...i am eating before i take it....im just taking 1 a day...but i never have had any issues with any of the other vitamins that i have except when i started taking this one...

should i try cutting it in half or something? i just brought these and hate not to be able to use them because of this but if its going to continue to cause stomach cramps and my stomach to be upset then i may have to try something else....

Did you take them with food?

 

[bluediamond0829]

no i didnt basically after i eat my food....maybe im taking all of them at once and should spread them out...i was just reading something in another thread...about spreading vitamins and meds out for them to be more effective...and plus take especially the futurebiotics with food/while im eating then....

Either you should take a pause from taking them to see if that's what's causing the issues or lower the dosage for a time.... Please be careful.

Hmmmm, not sure whats going on...... I take Futurebiotics Hair, Skin, & Nails 2x per day, and havent experienced these problems. Yeah, perhaps you should ease off a bit, since its been a while since you've taken vitamins..... and gradually introduce them back into your system.

I always get stomach cramps from iron (because I'm very senstive to it). Not sure if those have iron in them, but you may want to check. Too much iron can upset your stomach so its one thing to watch for.

I think that you may just have to go through a process of elimination. Try them with food and/or at other times of the day.

thanks for the advice ladies...today i didnt take any pills...im thinking of taking the futurebiotics right now..and then taking the others tonight...or later on....and ur right i maybe doing a overkill with the iron....im not use to taking iron as much...just to try to have more energy but if the hair nail and vitamins are already has enough of it in it then i may just have to cut out the iron pill then..
