A member asked:

My blood tests showed low hematocrit and iron deficiency, doctor suggested iron supplements but i am hesitant cause i heard they cause digestive problems and i already suffer from ibs, any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Give it a try: Take iron pills with food to lessen stomach irritation. Give it a try. If you cannot tolerate oral iron talk to your doctor about intravenous iron treatment that can be done in one sitting.
