Forcival and iron syrup

[~Alison~]

I I am 4 weeks post op and am really struggling with the forcival and iron syrup. Today it actually made me retch and throw up.

My iron was only slightly low so may stop this and add extra meat to my purée.

Do you know if it will be acceptable to crush a multivitamin and mix in yoghurt rather than forcival.

Thanks

Hi There , get soluble forceval on prescription fruits of forest flavour

I struggled with forceval fruits of the forest too so I manage to take a horse size capsule now once a day which is fine!! X

Today I have broken up my pre op multi it into 4 and taken that, same with my paracetamol. Just couldn't stand any more of the dispersible was making me nauseous. Am going to leave off the iron and have add half tin lentils to my soup today to up iron content.

That's good I at first before I got my forceval prescription cut my multivitamin in three!! I was told not to worry about iron till I had my first blood test dietitian appointment! Wouldn't worry too much about your iron!! Xx
