    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?

    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!
