Low Iron
Jen
Are you taking a daily multiple with iron now? Check and see how much iron? I take Centrum chewables, it has 18mg iron. I do 1X day, I take 2 if I am not eating well... There is a lady, vitalady on the main board that makes vitamin suggestions. Did your Doc make a recommendation? I remember you want to take iron with OJ for better absorption. Do not take at the same time you take or consume Calcium supplements or food like milk/yoghurt. Look at foods high in iron and take those.
Good Luck on finding a good product.
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

My Iron Level dropped. I started taking Bariatric Advantage iron supplements. did another lab and my iron level was still low. My doc told me to take with Vitamin C as it helps the absorbtion. That did the trick my iron level went up.
Also be careful that you are not taking anything that has calcium near the time you take your iron. as the two cancel each other out.
