Any information about Ferrous Gluconate?

My 3 month labs came back with low iron levels. I had been taking two "Perfect Iron" a day...but my surgeon said that was not enough. My surgeon has prescribed Ferrous Gluconate (300 mg)...now I know we can't have ferrous sulfate and the ideal type of iron for us is ferrous fumarate (taken with vit C) =o) The problem is I can't find out which type of iron this gluconate is. Anyone know?? I don't want to waste my efforts on a pill that most likely will not be absorbable enough for me so I was hoping to find out if this one is okay for me to take, I know my surgeon should know best but he is also one of the ones who suggest CIB for protien. =oO Thanks in advance!!
