I used to have trouble taking iron. It gave me almost debilitating headaches. I couldn't take any kind of iron except liquid iron of some sort. I took Chromogen. I think that's how it was spelled. It is a capsule that you just swallow and it releases the liquid iron into your system. I took it for the first 2 months after my surgery and got brave and started taking iron tablets that I buy for really cheap from Walmart. I haven't had any problem! I am so happy. Hope this helps. I will pray that you find some solution.
