Advantages: easily tolerated

Disadvantages: more expensive than other forms

Despite being desperately anaemic I found that I could not tolerate the iron given to my by my doctor. It gave me unbearable constipation and severe gastritis - and contributed to the development of a stomach ulcer! I thus had to stop taking the iron.

I tried various forms of iron and all gave me problems - except for Spatone Iron+ which is a natural mineral water in sachets. One is to be taken each day but I found that even with this, due to the gastritis, I had to begin by taking just a teaspoonful and build up. Now I take about half a sachet a day and my anaemia is slowly resolving.
