I am taking iron tablets. Initially I was taking it with food and it made me so bloated. Afterwards I started taking it with orange juice and I was ok, no bloating or heavy feeling. Also it changes the Color of your poop.

I took it with orange juice at first and it made me feel shit, had diarrhoea and tummy aches… so I switched to taking it with food and instead of every day i take it every other day and am fine now… everyone’s different tho so try which method works for you

Took it made no difference but can make u constipated ...they sell one in Holland barret for pregnant women that is non constipating

U maybe feel belly aches for a week or so but should settle after that , an yes take with vit c so absorption is better

thank you hun, I’ll use orange juice also then x

thanks hun

oh did it not 😅 I’ll check it out at Holland and barret x

oh really belly ache ?😩

I take Spatone everyday and I feel energised after having it first thing in the morning

I just got the iron injection cause the tablets never work.. was good to me.. until it wasn't as I had to much ferritin in my blood after.

Yep it's like an upset stomach but you get used to it, after 2 weeks you shud feel much more energy

Started and can't tolerate so opted for iron infusions
