MDJunction to me

scarysanity"I stumbled across MDJunction in late June of 2012 by accident while reearhing Anxiety infrmation. MDJ has become a haven for me during my darkest days, yet has allowed me to reach out and help others through my experiences. I have found so many wonderful people/friends here on MDJ. Without it I would not be the person I am today!" (scarysanity)

How To Take An Iron Pill
Written by cyberscryber   
02 February 2013
Some people simply cannot absorb iron via their digestive tract, but usually those people have had their stomach stapled, or have a digestive disease such as Crohn's diesease. However, often doctors and nurses do not adequately explain how and why to take iron pills. If you are having issues with iron not absorbing, make sure you are not taking them with anything you shouldn't be, and if that doesn't work, go back to your doctor and demand to find out why you are unable to absorb iron from your GI tract, and set up a treatment plan for IV iron infusions.
