Best Iron supplements?
My labs came back and I'm not surprised I have low iron, so my doc is having me start supplements. I'm looking for iron supplements that don't make HG worse than it already is, which is probably too much to ask. I've heard liquid iron supplements like Mary Ruth's are easier on the stomach, but I've tried it and it tastes like straight blood, the aftertaste was awful, the smell was strong, and I couldn't keep it down. I can't swallow the pills because if I open my mouth too wide or swallow too much I gag and then some. Iron also adds to constipation and I don't want to add that problem on top of all the zofran I'm already taking. I'd love to hear advice or stories about how y'all survived taking iron supplements while dealing with HG, I need your wisdom 🙏
