Iron tablets

[hootch]

I have recently started taking the iron suppliments I was prescribed post-op and they are having a terrible effect on me, cant go too far from the loo at the mo. I was told that the iron would blacken my bowel movements but this is rediculous, cant spend the next few years living outside the loo...

On a lighter note, no pun intended, I was weighed on Wednesday which was 13 days post-op and I had lost 20Kg...in 13 days...

A gopd liquid iron suppliment is the Spatone one. Often used by expectant mums it can be added to a glass of orange juice for most advantageous uptake!
