how do you take iron/stomach distress

My surgeon wants me to take an additional 1000mg of iron per day in addition to my multivite. Especially since my cycle has returned back to normal since my surgery. I usually take several doses a day during my cycle but have came to the conclusion that it makes my stomach hurt and burn during this time. The iron in my multivite does not cause the problem but the individual tablets do. Any suggetstions on taking the iron and which ones are good or more absorbant?
