Baconville 578 Posted May 31, 2014 Had my one year jabs done and my Iron is low. The supplements cause me to be horribly constipated. Anybody have any suggestions on how to boost iron a different way? What multi Vitamin are you taking? Does it contain iron? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baconville 578 Posted May 31, 2014 It does but only 140 mcg. Maybe I need a new multivitamin? My clinic strongly encourages Flinstones Complete chewables. I just looked at it has 18 mg of Iron. Not exactly sure how that compares to yours though. Didn't you clinic have any ideas other than supplements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously its way healthy and a great quick meal you can cook at the beginning of the week. oatmeal is no longer just for Breakfast. here is the one i have done twice and been very very hapy with Irish steel cut oatmeal onions whole cut mushrooms soy based bacon bits olive oil low sodium soy sage rosemary garlic salt to taste ( least bit possible) pepper Cook oatmeal seperate and use a butt load of onions and mushrooms saute the mess together and add to oatmeal as the last step. You can cut up chicken fish or turkey into it. i like mine cold but you can work out the serving temp on your own Look up other recipies they are wide and vast. next week im doing an asian oatmeal and following that a middle eastern one. low cal, low fat,full of Fiber and filling..with chicken or fish you get the added protien Peace out skinny people Edited June 1, 2014 by Weight Warrior 1 Dbanks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
