Answers:
Gastro-intestinal issues are definitely a side effect of too much iron - constipation, cramps, nausea, vomiting, even diarrhea to a lesser extent!. Alot of pregnant women think they have morning sickness, when in fact, they are getting woozy from their prenatal vitamin, which usually contains alot of iron!. If you think you need more iron in your diet, you might want to consider either total cereal or cheerios - they have a good amount of iron in them, and are generally tolerated better than pills!. Also, eating something with a good amount of vitamin c in it along with foods with iron will enhance the iron absorption tremendously (e!.g!. this might sound gross but I eat cheerios with some vitamin c enhanced apple sauce)Www@Answer-Health@Com
