Default TIPS for takeing your IRON

okay being i am anemic and have to take iron.....
it was told to me from another community member
that i may not be takeing my iron right so i wanted to quote
her and pass this information on to you guys:

I'm thinking you may have been taking not the right iron for you or not enough of it or not taking it properly, so moving to the right dose and type might help. Here's the iron rules:
1. iron always with vit C (cheap kind, not ester) alone together for at least one hour (ok with fruit or veggie)
2. iron is never taken with caffeine, dairy, egg or whole grain
3. never with any other vites, minerals or meds
4. remember, alone together for at least an hour (the rule for normies is 2 hrs)


okay so i pretty much was taking my vitamin proly less then an hour before breakfast...and alot of days i have eggs...so could this be my mistake?????????
hmmmm!
i will remember these rules.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

What mg are you taking? My surgeon has me at 150 and boy do I get constipated. I end up taking it every couple of days instead of every day. I go in for my 6 month check up in two weeks and plan on asking about a lower dose.
