hi all,
I need an iron supplement that won't make me feel sick.I take a multivitamin (one of the major brands) with 100% RDA of iron, because I'm a woman, and I have had low iron levels in the past.
The problem is that it gives me a stomachache. If I take it with breakfast, I want to puke. If I take it on an empty stomach, I can't eat for hours. If I take it at bedtime, with a little food, I get a stomachache.
I've done really well and taken it for 4 days straight now, but I just had an "intestinal crisis" to put it politely. My stomach is still cramping, and I don't feel well.
I need an alternative iron source supplement. I'm positive that it's the iron in the multivitamin. Ferrous fumarate.
Thank you!
