You should only take extra iron when directed to do so by a doctor. Constipation is one of the first side effects of too much iron in your diet. Some people have trouble metabolizing iron and have excess iron build-up, but this is a rare condition. Why are you taking extra? If you take a suppliment with extra iron, try to avoid, prunes, raisins, molasses, spinach, liver and other iron rich foods.

You can go to the doctor and get a blood test to determine your iron count. My best advice would be to give blood on a regular basis. It helps people in need and keeps your iron content low and even distributed throughout your body.

Green poop.
