Folic acid making me feel sick?

[KFFOREVER]

Hi

Just wanted to know if anyone is or had same experiences with folic acid. I am taking folic acid at night before bed, Its wilkinsons own brand. I wake up feeling nauseous and feel like it most of the day.

Erm, stupid question alert, but are you sure you're not pregnant??!

I have found that pre conception vitamins have made me feel bilious too. Try taking it with a meal.

yup - it made me feel ill too. i think i took it about 11am eventually or with food. the pregnancy multivits always made me feel awful as well

Yeah I have had this too, take them with a meal, I take mine with breakfast and I havtn had any side effects yet.

Daisy I wish I was pregnant but I had my AF 7 days ago. :(

I am going to take it with a meal this time and let you know how it goes. I know its very important to take them. On Friday I nearly turned back home as I was getting on the train to go work as I was feeling so ill

Defo made me feel ill, was really sad when I started taking them as thought it was morning sickness but realised sickness lasted about 2 hours after folic acid. Going to try it again with meals as know it's important, or might try before bed so hopefully I sleep through sickness.

Kff - is it just plain folic acid? When i was ttc i accidentally bought some which also had iron in it, and that really upset me.

star it is just plain folic acid. I forgot to take one with my meal tonight. oops. Will have to take it tomorrow morning now.

Yes so I upped the foods which had it naturally occurring in instead and stopped it.

Hi. I find the pre conception multi vits give me upset stomach too so have switched to taking individual folic acid and vit d with my dinner. Much better now, think taking it with food helps!

I’ve been diagnosed with hyperemesis( I’m 6 weeks pregnant) and since I take my folic acid it seems to make my sickness even worse. Is this just psychological or is there any evidence to prove this?

I am 8 weeks an I thought it was morning sickness but everytime I take this folic acid I am sick as a dog

You could try the spray version - Better You is the brand and you can get it from Amazon. Blueberry flavour 😋
