orange juice/iron levels

[kcarter2498]

My Dr told me the other day my iron levels are a little low so I should drink a big glass of orange juice in the mornings and take an iron pill every day. But the orange juice makes me feel like almost sick and kind of shakey after I drink it. And the iron pills are suppose to make me constipated (tmi sorry) which I do not want?! Anyone have and advice or suggestions??? I'm 28weeks by the way.

My doctor told me fruit punch like juice with my iron pills, its not so harsh.

My mother in law had the liquid and said it didnt taste the best. But if you put it in a smoothie you can't taste it, out just turns everything green lol.

Floridex is liquid.  They have chlorophyll in both. I take the chlorophyll pills.

I am 14 weeks and I throw up for everything and i could not hold down my iron pills so i was told to take two flinestone vitamins with iron and i feel alot better now

[kcarter2498]

Are those in pill or liquid form?

chlorophyll or floridex is better for iron.  No constapation or anything and it absorbs faster. All natural too.

I'm the same way. Just started the iron supplement last night. So not sure of the effects but I was told to eat red meat everyday a natural iron giver. Along with the iron pull.
