Does anyone else take this liquid iron?

I was on ferrous sulphate 3 tablets a day but they really upset my belly so I've bought some spa tone (texted midwife and she told me to get them)

Are they really gentle on the stomach? I've just taken one. If you take it, do you do 1 or 2 sachets a day?

The ferrous sulphate made me feel as sick as a dog

I'd love to hear any replies also to this thread as I had the same reaction to my iron tabs. So, Im trying to eat spinach and red meat but I find the red meat soo hard going as Im still suffering somewhat with nausea. I'd heard that spatone is good and that apparently you can get it on prescription, just havent bothered to call my gp yet.
 
Hi yes luvvy ive been drinking spatone every other day from about 4 months as i have needed to get my iron lvls up for home birth.

You only need one sachet a day, and you can take everyday if you wish but i was only having one sachet every other day to keep the irons topped up.

Its been a godsend and my bloods have always been fine so its doing it job for me.
I too couldnt get on the with the iron tablets, and with spatone one sachet in a glass of pure apple or orange juice is brill you cant taste anything and the vitamin c from the juice helps it circulate round the blood stream nicely.

I promise if taken right with fruit juice as box states i cant see it upsetting your belly. It gives my little one a burst of energy after every glass dont know if its the iron or she just loves apple juice lol.

Good luck and i 100% reccommend spatone for any pregnancy

I'm taking this, one sachet a day in a glass of orange juice (helps it to absorb). I've had no problems with constipation or any other stomach issues so you should be fine. :thumbup:
 
Ive taken this in the last few pregnancies and its fantastic!
 
I have been taking this for last 3 weeks. get it on prescription. I am taking 2x sachets a day first thing in the morning with about 200mls of fresh orange.

My bloods have improved within 2 weeks.
 
I'm taking it, I got it on prescription as iron tablets made me violently sick.
I've been having 1 sachet in a glass of orange juice for about a week with no nausea. :)
 
I'm taking this as I had major constipation with iron tablets. I take two satchets a day in a glass of anything. It doesn't constpate so its awesome!
