Will Alcohol Interfere with Oral Iron Supplements for Iron Deficiency Anemic Patients?

People, this is a relief. The things I went through this morning is something I can never wish upon someone. Looked like a hot tar spill on the white throne. I sat in the position all night like I was delivering a child waiting for the monstrous gas to exit my poor body. Never again...

Yes! I am iron deficient and rarely drink alcohol, when I take them in the same day,,, ex: iron am, alcohol pm. I get violent diarrhea. Stay away from combining these two. It never happened separately.

Yes, heavy alcohol intake will definitely interfere with iron supplements. If you are taking it for anemia, the heavy alcohol intake is very likely to exacerbate your condition. The reason is heavy alcohol intake will make the oxygen-carrying RBC to be extremely low.

Yes, it does affect the absorption of iron

Yes heavy drinking will affect anemia cause for one thing it is damaging your liver and god knows what else. And will defeat the purpose of even taking an iron supplement.Should really seek help with the drinking and definitely cut down if not stop drinking completely.

Heavy alcohol drinking could be a reason why you are anemic, so I would have to answer yes it would...
