Why do iron supplements make you so nauseous?

I have to take them... and I HATE it... 🤦‍♀️

Have you tried cream of wheat at all? It's the most iron you can get from a food source, and it lets you not have to take the supplements. :) I had to eat two bowls a day leading up to my hip surgery, and it's not so bad once you get used to it haha.
@thepropulsivepanda I will have to look into that! I would rather just eat something than take those damned things.

@Snowvixen I definitely suggest it! It's kind of like grits. 🤔 Good with maple syrup on them. :3

I take vitamin c to help my body absorb iron. Do you take because of anemia or pregnancy?

@TexChik firstly I don't have insurance and secondly I don't trust doctors. There are good ethical smart doctors out there. There are also money grubbing doctors that only want to give you pills and send you for a billion tests. Ive been to the chiropractor and the dentist. So I guess I cant say I haven't gone. It was only out of necessity. The payout was minimal.

@NeuroticByNature the anemia thing is a bit more serious . You need some lab work ( blood) done. Thing can go south or really quickly With anemias

@TexChik I listen to my body.
Not sure. I find they make me constipated. 🤷 I find plant based iron pills work better for me and I don't notice issues with taking them.

:/ I heard they can do that but my body had no problem with them. Can't you try some other brand?

Using cast iron cookware adds some iron to your home cooked meals, and might be a way to reduce the amount of mg's you need from supplements.
