so i started getting constipated and then my doctor prescribes a prenatal with iron because I am anemic, now it's even worse. i feel so achy because I cant shit. I have tried things high in fiber and i have tried to get her to prescribe me a laxative because im low on income but everytime i call her office I can never get anyone. any advice. my stomach hurts so bad.

I'm anemic also and had to stop taking the prescribed prenatals because the constipation got so bad ! now I take the Womens one a day prenatal and it is the only one I have found that doesn't stop me up for days!! it also has iron in it!

most of the time it's the prenatals causing it but you need to make sure you stay as hydrated as possible because being dehydrated and on the prenatal isn't a good mix. fiber one bars help me but you have to eat one a day. they also make fiber gummies and after a couple days they kick in. I have the same problem as you I go a week before I poop its horrible.

collard greens and butter beans work for me with my low iron and constipation
