Iron update

[Guest guest]

Hello fellow losers (and I mean this in a good weigh!!) o.k. I'll quit. I guess

my humor is showing how my extreme fatigue is getting the best of me.

Anyway I just wanted to update everyone on a thread we talked about awhile ago

and that was regarding Iron and not laying down after taking it. Well, the

other day after I picked up my refill for my Chromagen Forte, I was drinking a

shake and started reading the pamphlet that always comes with it and for the

first time I noticed in bold print DO NOT LIE DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES AFTER TAKING

THIS MEDICINE. Well, that was news to me. So I decided to ask my wonderful

Pharmacist today about that statement and her comments were " it may cause

heartburn " . I asked if it could cause anything harmful (ulcerations and such)

and she said no. I reminded her that I am a gastric bypass pt and she still

said the only problem it could cause is heartburn.

She also reminded me that not only are we not to take this with coffee or tea,

but also not to take this with antacids, eggs, whole grain breads or cereals,

milk, or milk products.

So with that, I thought I'd help out and let you all know what I found out.
