Question

My doctor prescribed me iron supplements of 325MG that I’m supposed to take once a day, however, I’ve been noticing that when I do take them, I feel constipated, and sometimes at night I wake up with the worst stomach pains and it takes forever to go away. 
Should I call my doctor? Is this normal? Is there anything you ladies can recommend to help that? 
Thank you. (:

Answer

I recently switched to Iron supplements with vit-c & they’re gentle on the stomach.  
*Drink orange juice with them, it helps so it doesn’t give your stomach issues & do not drink milk right before or after, as it won’t absorb into your body.

Answer

Take with orange juice or a vitamin C tab.. helps absorb it. Iron can cause constipation so also take with plenty of water, eat plenty of fiber & maybe add a stool softener if needed

Answer

Iron causes a lot of nausea and constipation. Make sure you’re drinking lots of water and add a stool softener. 
If that doesn’t help, I’d go back to your doctor.

Answer

Totally normal. Add a stool softener to combat this.
