Hi,

I have. Had anemia post RNY. I had to have infusions a little over a year ago, about 4 years post op. My physician (primary care doc) prescribed 200mg EZFE iron twice daily. I was wondering if any one else has used this iron or knows about it?

thanks,

lorri

I prefer carbonyl iron myself, because it's absorbed better without much stomach acid and is unlikely to cause constipation or an upset stomach.
