Suggestion for iron pills
Sundown Perfect Iron. Same type of iron, carbonyl, tiny tablets, cheap, easy to find.

There is a new product called Pur-Absorb. It is iron-fortified water that comes in a box with 28 individual packets. You mix one packet with a little juice (except grape) to kill the taste or just regular water if you prefer and drink it down. It's about one big swallow. Works like a dream and my side effects have all gone away (constipation, nausea). I found it by chance at CVS while looking for an iron supplement. It is absorbed much more readily than pills or tablets.
What type of iron is it?
