Ok,
I am taking the vitalady's  iron with the c in it.... I noticed if I take it with fruit or on empty tummy, or even after protein,  I burp this nasty taste!!!!

Is this common with all iron pills!!  Is anyone else doing this?   IT'S yuck!!!

I do the Tender Iron.  I eat fruit before and also after.  Plus a swig of OJ

I use Cyprus Iron and it seemed to be a little tough on the stomach for the first week, but I never had any burping.  Now I take it in the middle of the night when I wake up for some water and a pee, I don't seem to have any side effects.

"motor burps". I eat before/after, fruit. Never had 'em myself.

About 1% got motor burps on empty. I don't encourage empty for iron.

I was pretty excited about colors! Only 1 mfr offers colors.

The cal/mag/d is royal blue/white

the next batch of calc only (300) will be light blue/white. this batch was oops

we'll talk about moving some of the other formulas if I can get colors, right? right now, they are made by two mfrs and I've had no quality issues, so reluctant to change. BUT when I do my own pills, I'm faced with a zillion white caps. Whew.

I know, when I put them all in my organizer, other than size,  I see a SEA of whit capsules LOL

I do understand about being reluctant to change, quality control is good ... I may get the calc then if it is a different color ,  that is calcium right?

I am still a newbie at this still getting my web feet planted and pills on scheduled LOL

Thanks  Debi

Well, I'm still a fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". LOL

Mine are in ziplocks, but I take like 100. 4 gobs of about 25, then the iron group, and a bedtime group of things that I only take at night. Well, I guess I could take those Benadryl earlier, since I'd then get a half day off. zzzzzzzzzzzzz lol

I take my iron before bed, generally I've eaten something so that I don't get the burps, sometimes I still do.  I take a spoonful or 2 of chia seeds with water, and generally 5-10min later, the acid is gone.  I'm currently taking 12 tenders, 1 poly, 1 copper, and 2-1000 vit c.  Yep, it the burps are really nasty.

I just started taking iron today as a pre-op and had those nasty burps.
I made the mistake of taking on an empty stomach.  I ate some fruit afterwards which turned them into nasty banana burps.  I will try some fruit before/after tomorrow.

Thanks for the timely post! :)
