Hi, ive been taking ferrous sulfate for 3 weeks and itll be 4 weeks in 2 days. I had a diarrhea is it normal? But so far i felt better earlier and i stopped taking ferrous sulfate just for a day. Should i stop taking it or still take it although it has side effects?

Personally I took ferrous fumarate 210mg to raise my iron. I still take it in a much lower dose to maintain my levels as close to optimal as I can.
