Ok to take iron on empty tummy?

I am a bit confused. I've read on this board to take on an empty stomach, but my NUT said it's hard on the stomach. I take it first thing in the am as to not interfere with calcium. Thanks, Jo

Iron does upset some folks' stomachs, but if if doesn't bother you I wouldn't worry about it.  I'm not sure if you get better absorption if you take it with food though, so will be interested in what other posters may have to say -  Kellie
