Iron tolerance????

I started taking my vitamins about 1 month before surgery. 1 week post op I was told to add them again. I opened 2 of my iron capsules and put them in a protein shake. About 15 minutes after I was done, I thought I was going to die, my stomach hurt like never before, I was nauseated, and it took me 3 days to have a bowel movement. Needless to say, I quit taking them for now. Anyone else have this problem?
