Yeah when they prescribed me iron they also said to take fiber too because the iron makes you constipated..i don't take the fiber but I also don't have this issue.. maybe look into taking some fiber?

When my doctor put me on additional iron she also predcribed stool softener. I've seen that iron makes it harder to go :-(
