Feosol (ferrous sulfate) iron supplement constipating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Try different types of iron since this is a common side effect. Slow release iron is better; adding more kale/spinach/collards are a great source of iron; using fiber, miralax, (polyethylene glycol) magnesium from over the counter to prevent the constipation are options.
