My Iron levels are extremely low & can't tolerate iron by mouth! Help!!

I am 18 months post-op and down about93lbs still exercising and still doing the low protein diet and feel FANTASTIC my doctor suggested me to have labs drawn. What a nightmare! My Iron level is a 2 and he put me on ferrous sulfate 325mg three times a day!! OK---that didn't work. Everytime I take it I vomit! I've tried with and without food and milk! I know I need something to help me boost them levels. Got any ideas?! Thanks!! 263/170
