It just means your body is absorbing the supplement properly. No worried. Eventually it should even out.

Answer

they made us take iron pills when I was in basic training. you should be fine after a while.

Answer

Yup. Add fiber to your diet. Also there are “gentle” iron supplements that are supposed to be less constipating.

Try "ferrous gluconate" iron tablets. You can buy a ton of them super cheap. Much better absorbed than regular iron, and no weird poop struggles.
