Iron Tablets

Aren't they supposed to make you constipated??
All they have done to me is give me black poo and lots of it Went six times yesterday and have already been twice today

they might make you constipated but not neccesarily. The black poo is pretty normal. Drinking it with orange juice is supposed to help absorb it.

thats good you arent constipated. Lots of fibre in your diet

Phew - not just me then.
Libs had me convinced that I was going into labour last night!!

You can get it in any main chemist.

I've heard it can make your poo black! Nice!

 

[paradysso]

yeah normal iron makes ur poo sooo black and sticky, its like trying to wipe tar off your ass

spatone is fab, i love it, none of them side affects

 

[Natural mamma]

I don't do iron tablets...they are crap (pardon the pun) and you poo black cos your not absorbing it...Try FLORADIX you can get it in boots...far better and more effective.....

sounds similar to spatone, but spatone is purely mineral water with an extrremely high iron content, tastes like drinking liquid metal

I used to be aneamic all the time (though strangley i haven't been during the pregnancy, yet have been previosuly for years!)
And i HATE iron tablets.
I'd rather eat my body weight in spinach.

for all of you complaining about iron tablets I raise you

LIQUID IRON. Totally minging beyond all belief. I had to take it because i couldnt tolerate the iron tablet.
