There is no known contraindication of using iron tablets in irritable bowel syndrome patients, but if it has made your symptoms worse before it may happen again. Perhaps just try it for a few days ... hopefully last time your condition had a flare up due to some other reasons ... and you don't actually have any problems while taking iron tablets.
