My twin is about 2 years out and is now Enemic she is having trouble with Iron it makes her consitpated. Is there one out there that is not so bad. Janie

I have had great luck with Solgar's Gentle Iron - it is non-constipating and has great absorption.  My ferritin went from 7 to 34 in about 3-4 months using it.  You can get it online at various places - here's a link:

Stay away from ferrous sulfate - from what I've heard and read it isn't absorbed as well and it causes more constipation.

I am three years out and have always had that problem no matter what iron I took.  Someone recently told me to try taking one iron with one Magnesium and two vitamin "C" at night.  So far that seems to be working.  WooHoo!
