iron causing stomach cramps?

For the last month or so I have been having stomach cramps after taking my iron.  they last for about 14-20 minutes.  Last night I ate a small snack with it, but it didn't make a difference.  I have taken this type of iron for almost a year and never had problems before. 

What type of iron? What does your snack consist of, and has that changed? Have you been having any other stomach issues lately? Has the time of day you take it changed? 

Bariatric Advantage chewable iron.  I believe it is Ferronyl.    It is 60 mg.  I take it for one week and the skip a week per Dr. instructions.  Last night was the first night I tried a snack with it.  I had a few bites of leftover chicken.  I have had no other stomach issues.  I have always taken it at bedtime.  I have issues of when I can take it due to calcium and synthroid.  Neither one can be taken with each other or with iron. 

Your body might not tolerate it so well anymore. It just happens that way sometimes. I wish I had a better response, but you might have to call your doc or try another kind of iron. If this is bothering you, i'd avoid any of the ferric salts (ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, etc) and maybe try carbonyl.

I take iron ferus gluconate , alamanto 35mg. My body seems to like it no problems so far but i have to take this one preferrably without food  so i do and it's all good .  maybe talk to a dietician if you don't have one already.  My dietician told me which pills to take even though with iron there's always a risk of cramping and diarreah. i hope it all works out  for you.

I've tried a variety of iron supplements, and except for Vitalady's Tender Iron, they ALL give me horrible stomach cramps and pain. AND they all (including vitalady's Tender Iron) bind me up.

Basically I haven't found an iron that works for me.

Thank you.  I think I will play around with different brands.  If not I will give the nurse a call.
