iron deficient anemic

Anyine iron deficient anemic? If so do you take a chewable? If so which one? I'm only 5 days postop and I refuse to crush up my iron pill so my hubby just picked me up nature's plus chewable iron with vitamin can and herbs.

My question is, is it okay to take this with the herbs in them?

I am, and I never quit taking my normal iron supplement. I'd suppose it would depend on what the herbs are whether they'll be safe or not.

I have been at frequent intervals. I'm taking an iron melt (most) nights, but I'll wait for my 3 month bloods before I worry too much

Sorry- I didn't answer your question...

Some herbs are contra-indicated with some medications. You may need to check with a dr

Thanks all. My Dr did tell to continue iron supplement but it's a tablet. So i sent hubby out later night to get a chewable. He came back with the above. I hesitated taking it because of the herbs. I knoe I can take vitamin c but it had trace amounts of rose hips and a couple other items in there.

I will wait until Monday and check with the Dr.

I wanted to make sure I got back on something bc i know surgery csn make the iron low again and my wonderful monthly friend came a few days later (tmi sorry). But that was the other reasons I felt like I should get on something right away. And I refuse to crush up the tablet is have. The pill tastes disgusting on my tongue lol.

Thanks all!

Vitamin Shoppe sells a chewable berry flavored iron supplement that is pretty good.
