Hello, All!

I've been a huge lurker for a couple of years, but have a question that
I figured someone is bound to be able to answer.

I'm pregnant for #4 and on an iron supplement with a severe deficiency
(common for me), but it leaves me the wonderful side effect of
constipation! I've used Metamucil for past pregnancies, but was
wanting to try Citrucel - does anyone know if that's safe to take on a
daily basis while pregnant? I can't find much on that...

Any help would be appreciated!

Britton

Thank you both for that info! I may try that Fruit-eze... or try making it myself. I'm not a huge fan of any of those fruits (go figure), but I'd be willing...
