    I found the chelated iron from GNC is great, it doesn't constipate at all.

    Jess get thee to the GP and have them test your thyroid. Low iron and low thyroid function can feel the same, and he can check your iron at the same time (low thyroid function can also CAUSE low iron). It's a simple blood test

    I was just about to suggest getting your thyroid checked as well.

    mmm I took the floridex stuff from your health food shop. It wasn't cheap but didn't have the nasty side effects of constipation. I am 80% of the time iron deficient.... its not pleasant.

    Thanks ladies. Never thought to get the thyroid checked. I just dont feel like its low iron related. But hey i'm not a GP. I feel burnt out, run down and just drifting round

    Hey Jess, have you lost a lot of weight quickly or are you finding it hard to lose weight?
