One-A-Day puke (4)

For as long as I've been taking vitamins, I've taken Centrum. But one time when I was in college and on a fixed (or nonexistent) income, I went for One-A-Day because they were cheaper. No more than 20 minutes after taking one, I would vomit. The back of the package said to take it with a meal, so I tried that but didn't have any better luck. I stopped taking them for a while, and my puking stopped. I started taking them again, and my puking resumed. When I told my dad about it, he suggested it might have been a bad batch. He said I should write the company and sue their pants off, but I already threw the bottle out.
A while later, a friend at school said he had the same experience with One-A-Day. He stopped taking them and swore off them completely. This led me to the conclusion that it wasn't just a bad batch. Several years down the road, I still hear about people who have the same experience. They try One-A-Day vitamins for whatever reason and end up puking their guts out for apparently no reason. After talking to a friend or seeing a doctor, they figure out their puke is a result of their vitamins. Whodathunkit? Searching the internet only turns up a few comments from a product review, which say the vitamins are fat-soluble, so an empty stomach will cause the body to reject them.
Has anyone out there had a similar experience? #health
