@sarahhutchinson68, I was prescribed them as I’m anaemic basically when you take them you are meant to introduce a lot of high in fibre and iron things e.g cabbage,broccoli,brown bread,pulses, beans etc xx
@sarahhutchinson68 yeh my midwife said it is alot more gentle on the body. They just give you 200mg tablets as it's a big dose to get your levels up quicker, but if your not lacking that bad they should switch you to the more gentle form.
@sarahhutchinson68 have you mentioned it to your midwife? Mine said if my iron levels had come up enough I could switch to the liquid type, but they havent yet 👎 Maybe enquire and see if you can switch types to a better suited one?
I was supposed to take two a day but not taking any now! They made me constipated at first and the the opposite towards the end! But they made me get piles! 🙊 Dunno what to do lool! Xx
I was on them for years as I'm annemic due to iron deficiency but I stopped taking them a month before I got pregnant! My doctor and midwife wants me to take them but it's the constipation why Im avoiding them! Xx
