I am going to do an experiment.......WARNING...Yuky subject

Well Toni, I don't know the answer to your problem either. Right now I'm trying to get more iron in, and I'm a little worried about the constipation problem coming back too. I agree, taking stool softeners will probably help. Keep us posted on what works for you. Good luck! Theresa

I had a terrible constipation problem with Iron. It was impacted and I thought I was having a fifth child. It was terrible!!! I think depending on your body Iron either makes you constipated or gives you the opposite problem. My Doc told me to take a laxative every time I take Iron, but I can't believe I should have to do that for the rest of my life. My iron was down to 14 and I am also now on Iron pills and praying that they don't do that to me again. We'll see.
