Re: constipation and iron

<<I take SLOW-FE its very easy on the

stomach and I haven't had the constipation problem since I started

using it. You can buy it at wal-marts or any drug store.>>

Maxine,

Thanks! I will be looking for this when I go to Wal-Mart again. Can you

please tell me who the manufacturer is? TIA!

I just did a search on the web for Slow Fe and found this:

Active Ingredients: in each tablet: Dried Ferrous Sulfate (160 mg)

Ferrous Sulfate is the wrong kind of iron, also it's in a timed release form. I

thought timed release meds or vitamins were no good to us RNY'rs as they pass

through our system too quickly. I'm hoping (Vitalady) will add her 2

cents here.
