I take a pill form of iron supplement and it definitely causes flatulence in me! I'm Surfing the web right now to see is there's anything that can stop it, besides stopping the iron. I am anemic and must take the supplement. I'm considering trying the slow-release iron pills. Good luck with your problem. I hope we both get answers soon!

Iron pills can cause some digestive disturbance. But it is a mild one. Take it right after the mid-day meal. Get medical prescription before taking iron, may be you need to take folic acid, also.
