Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I take Floradix Iron + Herbs Liquid Extact Formula manufactured by Salus-Haus. Their website is: www.florahealth.com. It is natural, nonconstipating, (it even states that on the label) and you need less of it to get the same results from other Iron supplements. I bought it at Whole Foods in Atlanta, (I'm originally from Ohio, Indiana girl) and it raised my Iron level. I also take 4 chewable Benefiber a day, two in the a.m. and two at night. I hope this helps you. Good luck! Lorie wrote: 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..
