Hi, I want to know how to avoid constipation while taking iron pills and is the liquid better I mean it is not going to give bad constipation like with the pills, thanks

There is really no quick fix to this. If you have to take iron you need to eat more fiber and fruits. Dried apricots are a wonderful natural laxative.

There is no difference in the liquid or the pills.

Was the iron recommended by your doctor?

Hello j_9, thanks for replying, actually I am taking B stress complex and it has 27 gram iron , I am just taking the vitamin like every one else, no prescription but I need iron any way I have very low iron so I thought this vitamine is good because it has iron, C and E vitamin. I took iron in the past from my doctor and it was the same effect and why exactly iron causes constipation?

I am assuming your doctor told you that you were low in iron. If not, what makes you believe that you are?

Hello j_9, yes I had blood test

Try Ferro Sequels. They are iron pills with a stool softener. I know Walgreen's carries them but the one I go to has them behind the pharmacy counter because some pregnant women will steal them. They are great!
