Took iron pills for 5 days and stopped due to severe tummy pain but since then tummy is not the same. been weeks. pain often. nothing helps. normal?

Not normal: It is common for iron supplements to cause constipation, but that should clear up after you stop taking the iron. I would not expect long-term stomach pains from that. You could start by trying a liquid diet (juices and broths) for a few days to see if that helps. If not it would be worth having a medical evaluation.
