I've been having watery diarrhea and bad stomach pains ever since i started taking iron tablets for my iron deficiency.will these go away over time?

Diarrhea on iron tab: Perhaps if you and your doctor decrease the dose and then titrate it upward over time, these side effects may not trouble you. Taking iron tablets with food can help, but will also result in less iron absorption. Take iron with vitamin C for better absorption. Up to 25% of patients on ferrous sulfate 325 tid experince GI side effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2507689
