I have been diagnosed with iron deficiency. I started taking Floradix (liquid iron) but it is not getting my stores up high enough even though it has lessened the hair loss and led to improved energy. The doctor wants me to take ferrous sulfate pills. I have terrible constipation and am worried about taking them. Has anyone tried something that has not affected your digestive system? Floradix was great (no digestive problems) but it is not doing the trick.

My doctor did prescribe something for chronic constipation called Amitiza but I have to confess I'm afraid to start using it. I'm just so tired of taking new prescription meds. Anyone taking Amitiza??

I have heard of prescription Repliva for iron deficiency but I think it was recalled?

I think a new prescription for iron deficiency just came out, literally today, called BiferaRx. Does anyone know anything about this?
