Does anyone take ferrous sulfate for low iron?
Question:
Answers:
If you want to take an iron supplement, find one where the iron is bound organically (ferrous sulfate is inorganic). You'll get much better absorption of the iron. Look for ferrous gluconate.
If you're hesitant to take the supplement approach, eat meat, raisins, nuts, and beans, instead.
Go back to your doctor.
This is the standard treatment for anemia. You need to start the iron. I doubt you are allergic to it unless you took it before and were allergic to it. WIthout the iron tablets you most likely won't get enough iron even if you ate liver every day for the rest of your life.
