constipated??

Anyone one know what I can do about this. I am truly not a happy camper when I can't do what I need to do when I feel I need to do it. Grrrrrrr :(

Try taking a vitamin with a lower iron dosage. Or take a regular multi vitamin and supplement with a folic acid pill and a slow release iron pill. Iron is very constipating. My doctor told me if I can get enough iron in my diet thru food that I could totally stop taking a vitamin with iron in it, as long as I made sure I got folic acid because that's super important. Also, I use Miralax which helps a bit and the fiber helps also but you have to make sure you drink a ton of water or else fiber can make it worse. Good luck!

Oh the wafers or bisquits actually taste pretty good lol

Hi Stacie,
I bought some metamucal wafers that I drink with water, you need to eat food high in fiber.  You can google foods high in fiber and it will show you a List.  To be honest, I rather eat dried punes or dried figs than drink prune juice. Hope that helps!

Ok thanks.. eww prune juice, I will give it a try thought.

Drink Prune Juice, safer than taking any pills.  It works within the hour so stay home after you drink it.
