What do you take for IRON PILLS?

I have the Bariatric Advantage chewable iron pills. They don't taste bad actually, they are a berry flavor. My main problem is not taking them consistently.

Carbonyl iron, whatever is cheapest at the store (I rarely pay more than 2.99 for 100 tablets). The pills are really tiny and it's easier on my stomach than ferrous gluconate which gave me stomachaches. Just read the labels.

I take an Iron that has vit C in it . The vit. C is supposed to make the iron absorb better.

I get it from Vitalady.com

Northing else has worked for me, but finally my iron levels are up.

I was taking Bariatric Advantage too....switched to little pills you have to swallow....don't like those as well. Fixing to switch back to BA.

For me the problem was absorption. I was taking Iron and was still anemic.

This iron with Vit C is the only one that has changed that.

Thank you all very much. I did get samples from Bariatric Advantage for the chocolate rasberry truffle chews. I NEED MY Iron ) I love this site. Everyone is so very helpful

Happy Holidays

I take the bariatric advantage chewable lemon lime flavored pills - two each evening before I go to bed. I also take two chewable vitamin C tablets at the same time since iron is absorbed better with vitamin C.The C's are orange flavored, the iron is lemon lime - my mouth tastes like a citrus explosion after the four pills. Even with all of that and eating red meat multiple times a week, I hover at the edge of anemia. Nothing to do with the sleeve, I am that way most of my life.

I have found this to be a common thread among us sleevers. It's very common to be anemic after being sleeved for awhile. We just can't eat as much meat as we need to in order to keep our Iron levels up. My iron level is up, but it's still barely normal.

I didn't know Bariatric Advantage had choc. raspberry truffles.

is this an iron chewable or Calcium or a multi? I take their chocolate chews that is calcium citrate. I've never heard of the truffles. They sound yummy.
