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.

@thepreposterouspanda 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
