I've never had nausea from Slow FE. I don't know if it makes a difference,

but I take Vitamin C right after I've swallowed the iron pill. I'd read that

it helps your body to absorb the iron better.

I've had nausea from Slow Fe when I've taken it overnight or first thing in

the morning on a completely empty stomach. I find that the best time for me

to take it is between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner. If I

have breakfast at 9:00, I'll take iron at about 11:00 and eat lunch at about

12:30.

I do not take Slo Fe but I have taken ferrous sulfate(iron) and have always been

advised to take with

meals to avoid naseau.Also,I have heard that taken with vitamin C does indeed

help absorption.I would

like to add that all forms of iron,long acting or otherwise should be

monitored.Iron should not be

taken unless one is anemic,and hemoglobin should be measured from time to time

to see where the

levels are.Many foods also contain iron and can be considered alone if anemia is

not grave or with

iron to improve hemoglobin even further.Foods are not toxic.All leafy

greens,spinach,swiss

chard,broccolli,etc.are high in iron as is calves' liver and bacon.Always take

iron under the

supervision of a doctor.

Best,

Bonnie

I've always taken ferrous gluconate. The ferrous sulfate and ferrous

fumerate both upset my stomach. Ferrous fumerate is the worst at

upsetting my stomach and giving me diahrea. Sometimes the upset can

last from six in the morning untill 9:30 or 10:00.
