Detailed Answer:
Hello
I Dr Jadia has gone through your question.
Spinach, almond, milk or berries smoothies don't cause nauseated feeling.
Overdose of multivitamins and irons cause nausea.
I would suggest
1. to stop these multivitamins and iron, b complex for few days,
2.take antacid with antiemetic ( omeprazole+domperidone) for 2/3 days.
After nausea stops start these nutritional medicine after discussing with your family physican in proper dose.
If not getting relief with these measures then consult your family physician.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
