Empty stomach: Your iron pill likely contains substances that are irritating the lining of your stomach. Taking irritating medications and supplements with food may help diminish the symptoms. If you are still having discomfort, ask you doctor about trying a different iron formulation. On a side note, Vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron more effectively.
