Ran out of iron a week ago, waiting on it to refill now but i hate running out completely because my bile production is fucked up while my body adjusts, which means it’s diarrhea for everything I eat until I can adjust to being off and then adjust to on

You don’t want to buy what they have at stores?

would your mom be able to buy you animal derived iron? it’s absorbed way easier and you don’t have to take it on an empty stomach because it doesn’t have a million interactions with food and drinks like non animal derived iron.

Sometimes over the counter meds perform a lottt worse than prescription to the point where it’s more detrimental to take them…. 😬

You can eat a steak and get almost half your RDA, it’s ducking iron stop talking to me like this is a complex medication 🙄 you idiots are just like my mom, you get like this with anything medical. She won’t take anybody’s advice but a doctor or professional on lots of stuff that does not take professional advice or their advice is way crappier and subjective than people realize

Also I guess I might as well waste time on this? Sounds like you need help Iron, depending on personal circumstances, can actually be a really complex medication. If taken “wrong” it can cause, for instance, crazy GI tract issues. My mom’s a physician, I’ve been through the ringer too The reason many people don’t trust anyone other than doctors is because these other people *don’t know their medical history* You don’t know the condition OP has that requires this iron supplement

Also, if OP doesn’t have enough money for groceries, they sure as hell don’t have enough money for steak. I hope you have a good new year, and I hope you can deal with your baggage about your mom. It sounds pretty severe

1) as 2 said, I cannot afford basic groceries, much less enough steaks to keep my iron levels from being in hell. 2) I do not absorb iron very well, to the point that my doctor wanted me to take infusions but I chose supplements instead because it worked better since away at school most of the year, normally I don't let them run out, but I ran out of refills and had to go retest my blood to get more

Well I guess you’ll just have to diarrhea your way to the promised land then 🙄 This is not about you op this is about 2 and the dumb shit they say. If you can’t afford it you can’t afford it but you can all stop pretending like there’s some huge difference here especially in an emergency. Yy people are ridiculous to the point of absurdity
