daily vitamin check in
Got yours in for the day?
I just have my iron and C left. Speaking of iron, I finally got the results of my iron level. 120. So my ferritin dropped a lot but my iron is still good. So I guess I'm not going to increase my iron at this point. I don't wanna add any more pills, I already take enough.

Just took my iron & C and I'm done for the day! Got 'em all in. I'm taking 200 mg carbonyl iron with 1500 mg Vitamin C, and it really hurts my stomach. It's like a horrible crampy feeling about 2 minutes after I swallow those pills. No other pills/vitamins bother me. Anyone else with this problem? I've started eating a slice of toast with it, which helps.
Hmm. Carbonyl usually doesn't bother people's stomaches, but occasionally it does.
Do you need that large a dose? Is your iron really low?
Are they big pills?
How long does your stomach hurt after you take them? Is it just a momentary thing or does it bother you for a while? Does the toast help a lot, or just a little?

Yeah, my iron is low. It's coming up slowly. It was 46 in Feb, now up to 71. My ferritin is non-existant though (around 5), so I'm really trying to get that to come up.
I take the Sundown Perfect. They're tiny pills. I would say my stomach hurts for about a half hour, then it goes away. Eating the toast helps quite a bit. I guess taking it on an empty stomach doesn't work for me!
