Hello everybody,
i am about 6 weeks post op, still struggling to take foods in, my protein intake is about 50-60 g per day mostly from Greek yogurt, cheeses and some high protein soups, feeling Nauseous most of the time, is it something normal to feel nauseous like that?! my main problem now is the hard stool even though i take 2 tablets of stool softener everyday but it doesnt help, it's like a concrete! i start having too much blood from straining against hard stool and will go to do colonoscopy test next month. Is there something i can do for constipation and hard stool? is Iron may be the cause for hard stool? i am taking 300mg of eurofer (ferrous fumarate) and planning to swith to Ferrex 150 (polysaccharide Iron) hopefully it can help, what about the Gentle Iron 25mg (bisglicynate chelate) non constipating? is it good? if yes, how many tablets i should take per day? if no what's the best iron supplement i can take without causing constipation and what should be the daily dose for DSers? i read that some people take Magnesium citrate 150mg in small dose with the calcium citrate to pevent constipation causing by it? is it right and safe?
Thank u very much for your help in advance
