Agree on the recommendation to avoid ferrous sulphate - I wound up in hossy one night b/c I was so badly constipated as a result. Even after a week of pear juice, psyllium husks, dried fruit, etc, etc, etc, I was no better off, because this iron was so poorly absorbed.

I spoke to my naturopath, who suggested taking an organic form of ferrous fumarate which you can get from healthfood shops. Apparently if the iron is from an organic source it is more easily absorbed. Within a day of taking it, I had no constipation at all and my iron levels have been fine!

Kim, it would be interesting to hear what results you have with a liquid based ferrous sulphate!!

Good luck!
