Can folic acid make you constipated??!!!!!

[oliveoil]

I have been taking folic acid for 2 months and find that I am not the norm, as it were. I have checked the ingredients and the tablets don't contain iron.....anyone any ideas?

didn't think that happened, but I've been taking a multi-vitamin prenatal thingy ( which does have iron so I should be?!?) Hope you get an answer!

Are you pregnant? Folic acid doesn't generally make you constipated, but being pregnant does. And iron does too. And calcium too.

Don't think I am pg as my fertile period is at the mo, will have to wait until Nov 13/14 when next one is due to find out!

hi does any one know if it is safe to start taking multivitims/folic acid while still on the cerezette pill. As i want to build my body ready for pregnancy when i stop taking it.Am hoping to catch in the fertile window when you first stop the pill before your period starts again.

You are asking whether it is safe to take vitamins while you are on the pill???

As I recall, vitamins are generally found in food, and I assume you eat food?? And folic acid is just a kind of vitamin, so...

im sure its safe to take vitamins on the pill

prenatel ones just have a bit more folic acid and not vitamin A, everything else is the same (ish) as a multi vitiamin which you can take day in and day out!

OP i have been taking folic acid for 2 months now and havent noticed any problems or differences at all
