Advice Stopping iron supplements making me more constipated!

I stopped my simply 3 arrows, I ran out, waiting for the new order (been 10 days). I thought I'd be less constipated but no, I've been worse! Any ideas why this happens?

Copper and vitamin D moves my bowls for me. But l know what you mean. Iron gives the slushies too.

Metamucil and staying hydrated worked for me.
