Do you have to eat with iron pills?

Question

Do they make your stomach hurt ?

Answer

They can make you nauseous but iron is better absorbed on an empty stomach.

Answer

You don’t need to eat to take iron, but they cause stomach upset for many. If they upset your tummy, try taking right before you go to sleep.

Answer

Sometimes I take mine with breakfast and sometimes I take them before. I take mine with orange juice, OJ helps your body absorb vitamins.

Answer

It’s always bothered my stomach until I ordered some on amazon called Gentle Iron. I love them.

Answer

I usually do. And supposedly eating something with vit C at the same time helps with absorption. But no, it’s never made my stomach upset.
