Low iron. What's the best iron supp?

My iron came back 17. The range is 40-190. What is the best kind of iron supplement that won't makes me nauseous or constipated? I hope this is the answer for my fatigue but I don't know... I am
really fatigued but that all started when I began tapering budesonide. So idk if it has anything to do with the low iron.
Thanks!

I take one called Fusion Plus that my GI doc gave me. It has priobiotics, iron, folic acid, and other vitamins so it is meant to be easier on the stomach as other iron supplements gave me constipation.
My doctor also recommended taking it every other day or just a few times a week to minimize symptoms which really helped!

Hi Rose*flo
Here's two possible iron options to try...
Garden of Life has a line called Kind Organics. The iron formula they make is a liquid formula with I believe 10 mg of the iron and a small blend of other whole foods.
The second one is one I tried my self when I was low on iron. I know it sounds weird but it was the prenatal with DHA by Vitamin World. i chose that formula because it had 28 mg of iron with the two soft gels. Depending on where you buy your supplements, you may be able to try the formula for a few days and if you have the negative side effects of constipation you may be able to exchange it for a different one. I hope you find one that's best for you soon.

My Daughter has always struggled with constipation. We tried numerous types of iron but they always caused constipation.
Then on someones recommendation we tried a vegetable iron supplement. It didn't have the harsh constipating effects. It didn't bring her iron up as much as palafer did, but it does work. Hopefully you can tolerate something like that. It's called IRONsmart by Lorna Vanderhaeghe.

I second Gumby44's rcommendation of an iron infusion, but only if your doc will order it...other than that try liquid iron, sodium feredetate, I've found it quite gentle, much better than iron tabs.

And another natural alternative could be Spatone, it's a water enriched with iron from Wales; it's quite weak as it contains only 5mg iron per sachet, but it's still another way to increase your intake.

I am the queen of anemia! To the point of needing blood transfusions first then iron infusions. All iron made me sick, pills, liquids. I finally found one that caused zero side effects and I actually absorbed.

Pur-Absorb iron by spatone. It is packets of iron rich spring water. It is the only thing that works for me. I think its because it is just water and you absorb water and clear liquids so easy and higher up in the digestive tract.

Walgreen's frequently puts it on sale for buy one get one free or 50% off. I always stock up because it is $20 for one box that lasts a month.
