I tried ferrous fumarate which I do think is less harsh but still getvsymptons. I've also tried spatone who many swear that it does not constipate (lower in iron but higher in absorption so evens out). I find that it depends on how sensitive your gut is but hopefully if you try it'll work for you.

Hi I'll persevere a bit with capsules then might see GP about liquid form, you don't get the problems with infusion straight into the blood stream, is this correct?.
