    It sounds like you are taking enough. I would actually be a little bit wary of taking too many supplements IYKWIM. Did you talk to your OB about other options? I know there is an iron injection you can get which may be more effective if you aren't getting enough from the supplements.

    I am also too low on iron, unortunately iron tablets make me terribly constipated So I am having to force down all the red meat etc that I'd normally be happy to avoid

    Hi,

    I am anaemic too and have been taking Floradix because the tablets made my stomach really sore. It has made me feel loads better but my latest blood test show I'm still too low.
    Apart from red meat, I try and eat breakfast cereal, lentils or chick peas, spinach etc but it is really hard to get enough. Milo is supposed to be quite good too.
