Anyone else take Galfer Syrup (ferrous fumarate) and find the taste absolutely disgusting? 😂
I was diagnosed with low iron levels so they put me on ferrous sulphate tablets which didnt agree with me. These caused me to have nausea and be sick, which wasn’t great as it brought back bad memories from first trimester and having HG 🙈
Anyway they then prescribed me this liquid iron to take instead which has been a lot kinder on my stomach but wow the taste…. Its absolutely vile. I feel like Im drinking blood and being a vegetarian this is my worst nightmare. 😂 (Even my partner turns his nose up at it, i mean the colour alone is enough to put anyone off).
Just wondered if anyone else really dislikes the taste of it or is it just me being a wimp?

@Rhiannon so glad im not the only one! 😂 absolutely vile aren’t they? The tablets were coated so didn’t taste too bad but they made me so ill. Now im on this stuff which is better on my stomach but wow the taste! 🤢 I actually have to psyche myself up to take it, its that bad 😂 x

I was diagnosed with anaemia on Friday at 33 weeks and prescribed the awful iron tablets too. They make me feel sick. They taste like I’d imagine Penny’s do 🤢 I found taking them with orange juice or milk helps a little . I can’t take the liquid iron medicine as I think it tastes worse than the tablets xx
