Answer

yep really serious if your anaemia is severe and low levels it can start to shut down your system and organs

Answer

Yes it’s dangerous. Take the iron pills with food and lots of water

Answer

HAve you tried liquid form? I have floradix and while the flavor isn’t great, I have no issues with it and I have a sensitive stomach

Answer

Why don't you just eat more foods with iron in them, then? Ya know, a pill isn't always the answer.  Anemia is a result of not eating right for your body's needs. What do you suppose people did before iron pills were a thing? They just ate more iron in their diet.  Have you even tried that at all?

Answer

Mega foods blood builder helped a friend of mine. She said it didn’t hurt their stomach or make her constipated because it’s a natural source of iron. There’s man made iron and plant based iron two different types and natural iron from plants which is ideal. Untreated it can be dangerous and lead to hair loss.

Answer

Eat lots of things high in iron and drink a couple servings of 100% fruit juice to help absorb the iron. It should help

Answer

It could be very bad to leave it untreated.   My iron prescription for my anemia said to take it on an empty stomach but I have to take mine with a meal because I'll also throw up if I don't.  Personally, I'd try that if you haven't already.

Answer

Yes it is extremely dangerous to leave it untreated do you drink and eat before taking the iron
