Chewable Iron - Anyone Taking



Recommended Posts

today my hematologist said i need to take (2) 325mg of ferrous sulfate which is equivalent to 65mg of Iron. are there any chewables that contain that amount? i have surgery on 12/10 and figured i would just start with these instead of having switch after.

thanks!

That's the only thing I haven't been able to find in a chewable form.

I found some Iron that you can put in your Water at CVS pharmacy, but I haven't gotten it yet. Dr wants to look at my labs first to see how the chewable Vitamins are doing.

If you can't find it at a local store, maybe try drugstore.com (they have everything) or any website related to that (GNC and stuff like that).

I'm bored, so ill check on that too.

Ok. Looked at drugstore.com and the product is called Spatone pur-Absorb Iron.

It does come as ferrous sulfate, and gives you 30% of your daily value.

Plan ahead. Iron supplements can cause upset stomach and Constipation.< /p>

Bariatric Fusion sells chewable Iron in the higher dosage. I'm on my phone at the moment, so I'm unable to link their site. Maybe if you Google them it will come up for you. Hope it helps.

There's one available from Vitamin Shoppe...berry flavored, and chewable. I take one twice a week, and quite like them.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
