Iron supplements: Orofer XT is an iron supplement. Oral iron frequently causes bloating and gas. There is nothing that will change the symptoms. The best recommendation is that if you absolutely need iron supplementation, to try different iron supplements until you find one that you can tolerate. Most importantly, however, is to find the source of the iron deficiency and treat it. Good luck.
