2 year old keep saying tummy hurt and not eat much

[Sera01]

Hi I just want some answers from experience mom's that I have a 2 and half year old boy. Who has low iron and taking iron syrup before each meal. Since he is taking the iron syrup he is not eating well. He keep saying tummy hurt and not eat even his favourite meal and don't eat at all if I try to forcefeed. Has anyone else come across their child taking iron syrup and lose appetite? Please help. Thanks

Iron can cause constipation and stomach cramps, he might just need time to adjust to it.

Ask for a different formulation of iron and explain what is happening to a doctor or pharmacist. It sounds like a horrible side effect, poor boy.

I'm also thinking constipation which might be making him feel unwell.
