Need a good iron supplement



Recommended Posts

I cannot stomach Multivitamins with Iron in them. However my doc wants me to try a separate iron supplement. Is anyone taking one that is not completely disgusting?

I was prescribed to take ferrous sulfate, some high doses 2x per day because I was not taking my supplements like I should have. Okay, bad me... that said no matter what it is be sure to take it.

I tried all of them, the chewable, liquid - but I never liked any of them. Come to find out simply taking them is more important, at least it was in my case. But of all the evils I liked the chewable the best that CGDR suggested above.

I take Palafer. Every night I take a capsule with orange juice....It helps it work better if you drink orange juice with it....

Had my check up on Monday and all Vitamins and minerals on target.....After the loss of everything when I was in the hospital..This was very good news for me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take the Iron +C chewable from CelebrateVitamins.com, the grape flavor, and I actually like it. Out of the whole fistfull of Vitamins and other supplements I take each day, it is one of the 2 that I actually look forward to because of the taste. (The other is the Calcium soft chews from the same company, 250 mg each, the carmel flavor.)

I take fusion. I believe it is only with prescription but it does not have a taste (it's a capsule) and my doctor prescribed it to me. It's been sitting very well with me.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
