Iron supplement
I am suffering from anemia.I have IBS, and thus, most of the time, when I take iron medications, it causes constipation. Due to lack of haemoglobin, I am also facing issues in periods.
It would be helpful if you could suggest some iron supplements that don't cause constipation.
Thanks!!

Can try tablet Fe daily (it is heam iron which does not cause much GI effects), another option would be to take a fibre supplement for the time you are taking iron
