Iron tablets

I was on these while pregnant, however would throw up and have diarrhoea after taking them, so they never absorbed into my system. I also had iron infusions whole pregnant. I now just take iron tablets from boots and they seem to help now i’m not pregnant anymore x

🤣 don’t worry that thought had already entered my head! They are horrible!

I had them for a month too and also had a couple of days without on the last 2 weeks to give my system a break. But it was constipation not diahorrea for me and the lactulose and macrogol and fibogel combined helped. However I still have the same problem more than one week after stopping them!

TMI included, lol

I take them and will have to for a long time after blood loss during the csection.. they give me a dodgy tummy too, and oh my god, I called the doctors, panicking that I had bleeding in the bowels or something since my poop was black! They really should warn people about that!

I've been taking them for 2 weeks now, and it settled a little bit. I'm not going to the bathroom as often, but damn I can't wait until I can stop taking them. I'm also tired of the tummy injections 😭

I’m on them too and I think you just answered a question I wasn’t even asking 😂 my stomach is completely out of it, I’m on strong antibiotics and pain killers so I just didn’t think about it.

I was anemic after my c section too, Those iron tablets gave me the runs too I was so
Unwell so I stopped taking them. So I used liquid iron supplement instead
