My surgeon also recommends ferrous sulfate after surgery but I'm not going to take it. How are your iron levels looking on your labs? Are they holding steady or getting lower at all? ~Pam~ Re: constipation and iron > I just did a search on the web for Slow Fe and found this: > > Active Ingredients: in each tablet: Dried Ferrous Sulfate (160 mg) > > Ferrous Sulfate is the wrong kind of iron, also it's in a timed release form.
