Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 My iron was dropping, but still within normal ranges at my last labs (jan). I had been taking 1 polysacc iron. I upped it to 3 (on advice of my surgeon), but dropped back to 2 after experiencing the tarry poop syndrome. :oP Please be aware, and/or remember that I am very distal patient. No one should start taking 3 polysacc iron caps without medical advice. That being said . . . malabsorption is a puzzling thing! Oh - Polysacc iron is about $20/100 at VitaLady.com <<Polysacc is caps. Big diff. tho . . . 6 carbonyl = 1 polysacc dosage wise.>> Thanks ! I really appreciate it. I have a really hard time with iron. My fumarate (GNC brand) constipates me so I don't take it everyday like I should and my bloodwork is starting to show it. The Polysacc doesn't cause constipation? With you taking two a day what are your iron levels looking like on your labs? Pam>> Hawkridge in Washington State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
