Can low iron cause me to be bloated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Low iron is not associated with bloating, though the two may coexist independently. If you are iron deficient you could take over the counter iron supplements. Take the pills withe meals and if constipation happens take a fiber laxative like Metamucil.
