Please no more iron
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is anything I can take vitamin wise that doesn't contain iron. I am constipated and bloated and basically really really uncomfortable and I've been told it is probably the iron in my pregnacare that is doing it. I am 11 weeks today so only need to take the folic acid for another couple of weeks but I really want to keep up the multi-vitamins as my diet isn't great (as very sick too) and with all this flu stuff about I want to be as strong as possible. With regard to the constipation and bloating I've tried prune juice, dried apricots, fruit and fibre and husks mixed in a drink all to no avail so any advice here would be gratefully received too.
Thanks
