Iron w/without food?

Can somebody tell me if you were told that you must take iron with food or not? I have never been very clear on that one. Thanks!

I was told to take my iron on an empty stomach.

Thank you for replying. This helps alot! Merry Christmas!

First of all, I love Dr. Ali. One of my favorites. Hope you liked him too!! It's best to take your iron on an empty stomach. 1 hour after a meal or 2 hours before a meal. However, iron can cause stomach upset, so if it bothers you to take on an empty stomach, take it with a light meal. Or, you can take it before bed and you'll sleep right though some of the stomach upset! :)

Thank you Sara! Yes, I really liked Dr. Ali. He was great and had the best bedside manner. Have a great Christmas!
