Dear iron pills
Ok for the record I know it might be TMI but ehhh those of you who suffer with the same issues will understand.
Dear Iron Pills,
Since I learned I need you my days have been awful.
I let you into my system every morning and every night and yet you bother my tummy all day long. This relationship was not supposed to be a painful 24/7 one.
I have pain, pressure and bloat and I'm extremely uncomfortable.
Being "regular" is no longer an option and when the time ahem does come you turn it into a variety of colors 
I didn't know tiny white pills would create a rainbow.
I wish we had never met and I didn't let you into my life, but sadly I had no choice.
I can't wait for the day I no longer need you.
Signed,
Doomed for now.

Re: Dear iron pills
When I was on iron my poo was black. I totally second your sentiments about iron pills. When I was really anemic in college I was taking 4 Fergon per day so that I could actually function.

Re: Dear iron pills
Did you try taking Dulcolax and Colace? When I had to take iron pills they really helped in the "movement" area.

i'm scared to do that because whenever I have taken "assistive methods" like laxatives etc. to help that I end up going for like 1-2 days straight all day after.

Re: Dear iron pills
maybe a stool softner would help. It doenst make you go, but it makes it soft for when you do...so you don't strain
