this may not be of much help if you need to take a lot more than your daily needs (if you are anemic your doctor will probably prescribe a larger amount)
but I use the cheapest garden variety:

and have no problems whatsoever. I used to take a respectable proper brand name iron supplement in the past (sorry but don't remember what it was ), and it had disastrous consequences, I once took it on an empty stomach (apparently iron is better absorbed that way) and then threw up 4 mins later. Wasn't v pleasant... But I never had trouble with these cheap vitamins/minerals from any of the big UK supermarkets and I have tried/ currently take a whole host of different types ranging from iron, calcium, vit D to the B vitamins...

--------------------
now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)

before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010


FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml


[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
