Does Folic Acid Make you feel Sicker?
Hi All,
Do you think that Folic Acid can make you feel more queasy? I do! I've not been sick just felt sick but I think that the folic acid and sickness might be connected!!! I can't wait to stop taking it and must admit that some days i've not bothered taking it (naughty I know!) I've tried taking it at different times during the day but it makes no difference Been staring at the bottle all moring and still can't stomach taking it!! Grrrrr!!
Anyone else feeling like this

My morning sickness just made me feel queasy this time, I only ever actually vomited after taking folic acid. I got to be like you, looking at the bottle was enough to make me feel ill, so I just gave up. You've done better than I did!
Not long now xx
She said to remember that cereals are fortifified with folic acid, and it's also present in bread.
You might have been getting more than you thought xx
Thanks for your replies x x
I have been pregnant for 9 weeks now. i went to drs after 5 weeks and they introduced me to 400mg folic acid tablets. one to be taken every day. 3 days later i started being very sick sometimes upto 15 times everyday. morning, noon and night.
i have just got back from drs 2 day ago after being sick10 times within 2 hours and he told me he thinks its the folic acid thats making me sick.i have stopped taking them and havn't been sick since.
I have been taken folic acid with this pregnancy and boy is it making me feel sick. When I was pregnant with my others you didn't have to take it and I have 3 healthy boys.
I don't know if it's specifically the folic acid, but I do feel like puking after I've taken my vitamins...
Hi ladies just wondering I am feeling a little ill after a week of taking folic acid as I am TTC and I am not pregnant as far as I know. Any help would be great.
Iv been getting the same problem im nearly 7 weeks on Monday and midwife said bout taking multivitamins with folic acid in it been taking them and feeling very sick not been sick though . Would it do any harm if i stop them
The advice constantly changes on this one - a few years back you didn't need to take anything, then it was take folic acid for the first 12wks whilst baby develops, now it's recommended to take folic acid & vitamin D throughout the pregnancy & whilst breastfeeding...
If you really can't stomach the tablets then there are simple tricks to bear in mind - a glass of fruit juice with your breakfast cereal will help you absorb more of the folic acid & iron, try whole meal bread over white, eat plenty of greens (rich in folic acid) & dairy (rich in vitamin D).
