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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
