I'm talking bariatric advantage iron...it's chewable & I'm not having any issues with it. It's 18 mg & I take one every morning. You can go to their website to buy them. They are sold online only as far as I know.

Good luck. I know iron can be awfully hard on some people.

My pharmacist recommended a liquid form called Palafer instead of a pill, it comes in a Cherry flavour, but doesn't taste much like cherries, lol. It is 100mg of iron per teaspoon.
