First off, if your stomach is getting that upset, you need to go back on the prevacid.  You dont' want to end up with an ulcer. Are you taking your iron with your multi?  If so, this could be what is upsetting your stomach not the multi.

You might want to switch to centrum silver chewables, they taste good and are not going to upset your stomach.  Take them 2 times per day but you need to take a separate iron supplement.  With your stomach so sensitive, go to vitalady.com and get your iron there,. They are called Tender Iron - they are carbonyl iron with vitamin C in the capsule- they are 60mg per capsule.  Make sure you take them 2 hours away from your calcium and thyroid mediction.

As far as vitamin D goes, the vitamin D in a multi is really no good for us.  We need Dry D3 and you can also get that at vitalady.com in 5,000 unit capsules.  Take atleast 1 capsule daily and that is a minimum dose for us.  Most need much more than that daily.

I have always gotten sick from multi-vitamins, even years before surgery. I can only take the chewables. I take the Centrums too. I have never once got sick after taking them.
