Anemic ... Pill vs Liquid

I'm a newbie to the board, and so I'm sorry if the topic has been discussed before.  The OTC liquid stuff taste terrible and you have to take it several times a day for it to make a difference - plus it made me nauseous. My doc wrote me a script for NovaFerrum and this stuff is great. You just take a teaspoon a day and it actually taste good. My levels are back to level too.  Its either this or pills which I don't think I can tolerate, at least not right now. Any experiences or thoughts will be appreciated.... Thanks

The iron topic has not been addressed for a long time.  I am thrilled that you found something that you tolerate.  I have been lucky, no additional iron supplement needed at this time.  I will keep this in mind if I need something in the future.

How are other things going for you?  Looking forward to hearing more of your story vanishing.

 Thanks Kathy, I appreciate your input. So far so good. I went and got my follow up blood test, (four weeks) and my levels are back to normal. So I would recommend it because now I know it works too. My doc was even surprised on how quickly it worked and he was going to keep it in mind.
Thanks!...
