Iron 327mg supplement
Hi,
I delivered my baby boy on 26th January this year. I had started consuming a ferrous fumarate supplement of 300 mg in addition to my regular prenatal vitamins (that came to 327mg of iron per day) on my doctor's advice while I was 7 months pregnant. But after my delivery I continued to consume a total of 327mg of iron through my supplements for one and a half months approximately which caused me abdominal pain and diarrhea. I have presently stopped consuming all the supplements.
My question is - Have I damaged my liver by unknowingly consuming such a high dose of iron every day even after I delivered my baby?

Yaa you have consumed very high dose.
Should have been 100 mg per day.
As far as liver is concerned we need to get some liver tests and a fibrosan.
