Iron

howdy All, Quick question....I have regular over the counter iron pills, after surgery i was takingthem crushing them up in yogurt, b.c in applesauce it turns everything including my tongue black. HAHAH yeah i was part Chow-Chow. Anyway i got tired of taking them, big and nasty. I thought about adding them to a protein shake BUT can't add calcium and iron togther, well they say don't..so there went that idea. NEXT... I tried those lil' ones you can swollow, from bariatric advantage website, they make me burb consintaly, nasty tasteing..... So, any suggestions what do you do, how do you take them, what brand??

I take Sundown brand Carbonyl Iron. I just chew them up and no black tongue Seems to be working, I never get fussed at over my iron with my bloodwork. I chew two of them every morning. Gigee

Christina, I bought some chewables from the Vitamin Shoppe. They are not my favorite but I can get them down. They are the brand Nature's Plus. I've had no problems taking them like you've had but I do occasionally forget to take them Lisa

Thanx Ladies, should have asked the cost you pay for them. WOW I need a new Pic......YUK! Christina

I think mine were less than $10.00 but I'm not sure. Sounds expensive but they last forever! Lisa
