For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency "Day 3, I got extreme acid, bloat, gas, and what felt like heart palpitations. I stopped taking ferrous and still, 3 days later after stopping, I still had symptoms. No over-the-counter meds helped, I ended up going to the hospital due to the severity."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I've only been taking this for about 3 days, and it's been a 3-day pure gastrointestinal nightmare. Stomach ache, bloating, nausea, and the gas! The gas is out of control, and I'm surprised my family still wants to be around me. I am definitely gonna switch to a non-sulfate version."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "Needed for low iron levels. Reduced my period bleeding, extreme bloating, and some nausea. Even tried taking it with a meal and lots of citrus for vitamin C. Makes stool darker and smellier, I eat lots of vegetables for my normal diet, so no constipation was experienced. Stopped after around a week."
