Does the packet/brand say anything about possible side effects. My daughter was recently put on losec(!) due to chronic stomach damage caused by Coeliac disease.her sore stomachs just go worse and worse. Turns out one of the rare side effects of this medicine was severe stomach pain - ironic really when its supposed to be helping the stomach. Hope your reaction wasn't serious.

Me too kizzier.The GP gave me some quite some time ago and I felt terrible.I also bought some multi-vitamins and they had iron in and they had the same effect.Not pleasant.

Oh no - how awful, you would carry on taking it thinking it would work eventually.

You'd think so - she refused to take any more and slowly her stomach came right again.
Funny with everyone else about the iron tablets - Ithas the opposite effect with me and I don't go to the toilet for days.

Oh! Funny you say that! Multi vits always make me vomit - but I only take them in pregnancy so thought it must just be because of morning sickness!

Again, normally I only take iron during pregnancy and also get constipated. Now my iron is low they said to up my intake or get an injection.
