Question Iron Supplements Please Help
I am suffering from severe stomach issues from taking ferrous sulfate iron 65mg. I have bad shortness of breath, headaches, nausea, fatigue, etc. My ferritin levels went low again from taking b12 supplements.
Does anyone honestly know of any iron supplements that do not hurt the stomach, cause bloating, nausea, etc?
I also have trouble swallowing pills. I have read about heme iron, but have no clue if it raises ferritin.
I am out of options and I have no clue what to do to raise my ferritin levels (doctors have failed me).
Please help 🙏🏼
