Good afternoon @ktgirl. Hi there, thanks for the follow-up. Your post mentions vitamins. Is that what the iron pills are called? Have you talked to your surgeon or his staff about the nauseousness? I had no noticeable reaction. I have read somewhere on Connect that some folks substitute raisins for iron pills. I remember my mother had an iron deficiency....and was labeled anemic. I think her iron pills were big capsules but that was 60 years ago. We also had to eat chicken livers and even calf liver.

My friend told me her husband substitutes the raisins because the iron pills result in black stools. So there may be options for you. All of this is memory and hearsay. I am not a health professional. I am just glad I don't have to eat liver anymore.

May you be whole and healthy.
