Iron on an Empty Stomach
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:51 pm
From what I've read on this forum I should take iron (I'm taking 325 mg. Ferrous Sulphate) on an empty stomach. First thing in the morning I take B-12 under my tongue and a few minutes later take the iron and vitamin C. Then I wash it down with too much decaffeinated coffee. Maybe an hour later I eat breakfast. Although I have got various suggestions on what type of Iron, I'm currently going with the international consensus study on iron for RLS. My healthcare provider's Hematologist wanted nothing to do with infusion unless I was anaemic per my GP while my Neurologist is ready to prescribe about anything (except opioids) including MM, "a business we are getting into".
I don't feel any improvement from the oral iron but I keep taking it and several other supplements. I think I'm going to pursue MM during my next appointment that's coming soon. I've been making my own brownies since I retired but thought I would try a prescription dose. Any comments on my technique for taking the oral iron?
