You may take Miralax and drink plenty of water. Iron supplements are known to cause constipation. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. Try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
