Hi Doctor Priyanka Patel. I was diagnosed with this 6 years back but then I was fine after I took homeopathic treatment. I tried Faa 20 tablets and after that I tried Mumfer Max tablets.

What medication are you taking currently I will like to know the name of the iron tablet maybe changing the tablets mail you can tell me what 2-3 compound you have changed so we can understand also tell me where you're diagnosed with IBS or because of your current situation you have been advised that you may be suffering from IBS but you are not sure if you are having ibs

Things to know about Iron rich foods: 1. Adding meat or seafood to a meal will increase iron absorption from eggs, dals, vegetables in that meal. 2. Calcium-rich foods in the same meal will impede iron absorption, so avoid combining iron with dairy foods. 3. Iron-rich foods absorb better in the presence of vitamin C. 4. Iron-rich vegetarian foods include lentils and other legumes (dals), beans (rajma etc), dried fruits (raisins, dates, prunes, apricots etc), leafy green veggies (broccoli, different saag/keerai varieties), millets (ragi, etc). 5. Vitamin C is in mangoes, tomatoes, pumpkin, lime and other citrus fruits, capsicum, etc. Bonus: fermenting, sprouting and soaking grains and dals hugely increases how much iron is absorbed from it. Spinach is not easy to absorb iron from. Too many chemicals in it that impede absorption, phytates, oxalates, fibre.

Hi what is your HB? If that's good then no need to take iron . You can have iron rich foods instead, also you can take iron injection through IV. Speak with your gynecologist , she will suggest you.
