I've found that if I take the pills with food I'm fine - phew!

I was diagnosed as anaemic twice during my pregnancy, but found the iron I was prescribed must have been too strong for me as I kept vomitting it back up after I took it

Lowered the dose and I was fine, might pay to check with your doc about the dosage]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:40:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25572&PID=654494&title=iron-pills-nausea-vomitting#654494 <![CDATA[Iron Pills + Nausea / Vomitting : Here is some more info:Link And...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25572&PID=650481&title=iron-pills-nausea-vomitting#650481 Author: KitKat

Hmm - thanks for this.
The ones I've been prescribed are the 200mg ferro-tab pills with 65mg of iron in them. I wonder if I need that much - and if the floradix would have enough??

I think I'll give my MW a call...

With the first pg I took iron sups and had really bad pains in my side and belly, couldn't walk they got so bad...was sent for tests but had too much iron and once I stopped taking them the pain went away. I didn't take anything second time round.

Josica- I found that iron pills make me nauseaus.... and i found out my mum was the same.

Try liquid suppliments- eg Floradix, Im good with that, and it tastes nice. its iron from natural source, easier to absorb, not so taxing on your liver. From the supermarket too. U get around 15mg iron per day plus other B vits.

I noticed it the most in the first 10 weeks and spoke to the naturopath about it- she said often people cant absorb the amount of iron in suppliments and the liver just cant cope- hense nausea.]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:52:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25572&PID=648799&title=iron-pills-nausea-vomitting#648799 <![CDATA[Iron Pills + Nausea / Vomitting : when are you taking them are wat...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25572&PID=648784&title=iron-pills-nausea-vomitting#648784 Author: TysMummy

Has anyone else had this?

I was prescribed iron pills a week or so ago, and noticed that every time I take one I feel pretty average afterwards. Then on Friday, when I was home sick with a cold (which probably was a contributing factor) I projectile vomitted my breakfast back up after taking one (sorry, TMI)

Does anyone have any tips on taking these? I've tried them on an empty stomach and after eating and still feel blurgh...

It's got to the point where I haven't taken one for the last couple of days and am a bit scared to take another one in case I throw up again...
