I've been vegetarian since 1993 and have been anaemic forever since!
I have Ibs and diverticula and cannot take any tablets without causing me severe stomach cramps and constipation..last time I took the tablets I ended up with severe impacted bowel from the constipation and I was on the floor with the stomach pain.
I have no problem taking spatone it's great causes me no problems and I take one sachet in orange juice every second day but my hb sits continuously at 11.3 ..my doctor says it's fine for me as I'm not able to take tablets and it's been like this for years 😞
A few weeks ago I decided to try floradix as it's supposed to be gentle on the stomach although my doctor advised against it.. .. tried it every second day and I was on the floor with pain for days and then the constipation kicked it so I had to stop it after two weeks
Just to add my diet includes lots of greens, I am not able to eat seeds, nuts, legumes because of my diverticulitis sadly
I'm lost as to what I can try now..anyone else in the same boat?
