RE: Cherie... Iron supplements

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Cherie.

So the Solgar brand does not constipate? I have to watch for that since I

battle that and the slightest things can throw my digestive system off.

Thanks,

RE: Iron supplements (was wired but tired - ? for

)

The one I used from Wal-mart was Spring Valley. There isn't a health food

store very close to me, so I just bought it there. They quit carrying it so

I had to drive to a health food store. The brand I got there is Solgar. I've

tried regular iron supplements and they kill my stomach. I know it

constipates most people, but I can barely leave the bathroom for about 6

hours if I take regular iron. I know that is probably TMI, but that is how

my system works. :-)

Well, I have the opposite problem with iron. Probably because of my Chron's

disease and missing 2 feet of my small intestine. However, this is what it

says on the bottle:

<snip>Manufacturer's Description:

SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS • SUGAR, SALT AND STARCH FREE.

A unique form of chelated iron (iron bisglycinate) formulated for maximum

absorption without gastrointestinal irritation or the constipating effects

that often accompany iron supplementation. <snip>

I haven't had any problems with it upseting my stomach at all. So it might

be worth a try if you need an iron supplement. I was also told to cook

things in an iron skillet and the food would absorb a bit of iron from that.
