You can dump on anything. Eat some protein before taking your vitamins or speard them out more take 1/4 or half doses. Early on vitamins made me really ill. My body adjusted, they no longer bother me.

I would try another brand. Just make sure you buy small sizes. :) I tried liquid ones and they didn't work for me. I used the Flintstones chewables early post-op but found that the "complete" ones (with more iron) did NOT taste like the regular ones. ICK! As you get further out it will get better. But for now just make sure you are not taking them with any carbs (including milk). I have problems sometimes with combinations of things making me dump when the individual items cause no problem (i.e. cereal & milk).

I take two chewable Flintstones vitamins per day, and have no problems
