Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum, but I just came across it and I need some help:
I work out about 5-6 days a week (mostly cardio, weights & pilates). Usually, my abs are pretty defined and I feel great. But I found out that I have severe iron deficiency anemia and was instructed by my doctor to take a 65 mg iron supplement 3 times a day. Over the past several weeks, I’ve been feeling incredibly bloated, I have a strong fullness feeling and I feel like my digestion’s slowed down. Now my abs look like a balloon (and I feel like balloon). I've tried upping the intensity of my my workouts, but no change at all! Any ideas of what I can take with this iron to counteract the effects of it and make me feel normal again? THANKS!
