I have low iron, and have been prescribed 3 x 210mg iron tablets a day. My stomach can't tolerate this, so Dr said to take 1 a day, and up vit C to aid absorption. Taking vit c seems to give me horrendous diarrhoea (which is black....does this mean I am not absorbing the iron)??
I also eat iron rich foods, and fruit and veg and have tried floradix and spa tone (not all at once!) Iron levels don't seem to improve.
Any ideas?
