Taking iron daily usually constipates people, but it seems to make me have more regular bowel movements?
I take iron every day, as I am occasionally anemic. i take Slow FE brand. I take it once in the AM and once in the PM. Usually iron constipates people, however, it seems to make me more ‘regular.’ When I take it I have one bowel movement a day. When I am not taking iron, its like one every 2-3 days, which I know sounds bad, but that is regular for me…I am not complaining. I am just wondering if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this?
Why is my 14 month old sons bowel movements yellow?
My son started a low dose antibiotic 4 weeks ago. At first he had diarrhea, but as soon as I put him on an acidophilus it went back to normal. Last week he got the stomach flu and was throwing up so I stopped giving him the antibiotic at that point since it wasn’t staying in him. That was 10 days ago. He seems to be all over the flu also but his bowel movements are yellow now. I don’t know if it has something to do with the flu, or if something else is going on now.
Can anyone help me?
