Re: Hello Everyone I Need Help

Hi Channing,

 

I am so sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with anemia/low iron.  How long have you been taking the iron tablets?  The reason I ask is that anytime I've taken new medications that immediately resulted in some sort of constipation, the longer I was on the pills, the better my constipation got...and by the time I knew it, my system got used to it and I didn't get constipated anymore.  Also, when my brother used to get constipated, my mother would mix the powder form of Metamucil into lemonade or something since Metamucil, which is really called Psyllium, is a laxative.  I might try that if I were you.

 

More information on it is here:

I hope you feel better soon!

I am a female with Autism the Aspergers Kind I am not feeling good because I have been Diagnosed with ANEMIA or LOW IRON. I am not getting better at all from being VERY ANEMIC at all and Now I have to take Iron Tablets which have made me MAJORLY CONSTIPATED. I have been crying over the fact I am MAJORLY CONSTIPATED BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE CONSTIPATED AT ALL and because another thing I enjoy doing is donating blood(Helping Others). I have some questions and my questions are:

1. What can I do to get better from being VERY ANEMIC because I do not want to be on IRON PILLS for the rest of my life?2. What can I do to get rid of the MAJOR CONSTIPATION with takeing the IRON PILLS because I have am MAJORLY CONSTIPATED?

If you know the answers to my questions please let me know. Thank you to anyone that responds to my post.CHANNING28270@...CHANNING28270@...
