Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm having the same problems. I'm on 200mg of iron a day. I'm supposed to be on 300mg, but I can't get it all down. I have had constipation problems since I was on the protein shake diet before surgery, and the iron supplements are making it worse. Even when I get my water in, it doesn't help. I add benefiber to whatever I can and sometimes take a Colace (stool softener). But for me it's an ongoing (no pun intended, LOL) problem and I hate it. Lorie Question..Help I should have listened more to the posts about fiber. I now have a hemmeroid and it hurts. I go back my surgeon tomorrow so I hope he can help me get rid of it. My question is how often does constipation and this kind of thing occur? Is there anything I can do to alievate or advoid it. I have already increased my liquids and ate more fiber..

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Try adding some bennafiber (spelling??) to one of your drinks in the morning. It is unflavored. I had this problem for a few months and this helped. Hugs!! > > I should have listened more to the posts about fiber. I now have a > hemmeroid and it hurts.
