I had the exact same reaction to Centrum vitamins (before realizing I was
lactose intolerant). I couldn't figure out why I kept feeling worse while I
was taking vitamins to feel better. As Mark Feblowitz mentions, most
natural brands indicate if they're dairy, lactose, or milk free. In terms
of mass produced multivitamins, I've had success with One-A-Day for Women
(because of the extra calcium and iron). Read the labels carefully and as
your pharmacist if you have a question.
