Iron question for the group

[Guest guest]

Hello. I just took my 27 week blood tests, including the glucose.

My doctor called to tell me that the results of the glucose was fine,

but I'm anemic. I know this is common, so I've been taking 18mg of

Iron (Ferronyl) daily to try to prevent anemia. It's a chewable form

I purchased online from Bariatric Advantage. My doctor told me I

needed to increase my intake of iron supplement to 40-60 mg of iron

per day. Now my questions: If I take 3 of these iron pills a day,

should I take them all at the same time, or should I space them out?

Also, I take my vits in the morning on an empty stomach, but at the

same time as my coffee. Should I worry about the coffee affecting

the absorbtion of iron?

Thanks all.
