Iron and constipation

My doctor recommended me a vitamin with iron. I have a minimum of 35 g of fiber and lots of water daily(per doctor recommendation). Since I started the vitamin, the constipation came back horribly. How do you fight that side effect of iron? Thank you and be safe!My doctor recommended me a vitamin with iron. I have a minimum of 35 g of fiber and lots of water daily(per doctor recommendation).

Iron overload

I know it's not technically thyroid problem per se but as iron is related to thyroid I hope people know more about iron. Last summer I had iron panel, can't remember all numbers but I will dig them up if necessary. Ferritin was 31 (10-291) Serum iron was on high end the range but not over range.

Restless legs

Does anyone else suffer from restless legs? I’ve had this issue since before I found I had B12 deficiency and I don’t know if it’s connected. I have vitamin D deficiency too, no idea whether that’s relevant either.Does anyone else suffer from restless legs?

Anyone suffer from haemochromatosis or have high Ferritin levels?

I discovered recently that I had high ferritin in 2018 and that I may have it still (awaiting test results). I checked back old blood tests and I've only had ferritin measured once before and while it was within limits then, I noticed it was already quite high, and that was back in 2016.
