Oh poor you I on supplements half the time even with a full stomach. The worst are the b-complex and my multi with B, if I ever have to take iron I get very sick. For some reason the fish oil on an empty stomache is ok for me (never had a fish burp) and calcium, milk thistle, lutein, and magnesium I can take on an empty stomach ok, it's swallowing them all - now THAT's hard.
