Ferric-Diphosphate iron supplement for children

Hi,

I wondered if anyone would know of a Ferric-Diphosphate iron supplement for children?

My ds gets far fewer viral infections if he has supplemental iron, and he gets it from readybrek at the moment, but a paediatrician has asked me to move him to a coeliac diet, which means that readybrek has to be cut out.

I'm a bit stuck because apart from readybrek and rice krispsies, every other fortified food or vitamin supplement that we've tried has caused him abdominal pain.

I wrote to the readybrek manufacturer and they said that they iron that they use is Ferric-Diphosphate, so I'm wondering if I could maybe track down a vitamin supplement that has this form of iron in it.

I wondered if anyone might know?

Thanks!
