Hi, Marjo.
Why don't you eat green leafy vegetables? I'm able to eat them if they're cooked. Other good sources of iron are tofu, black beans, and lentils. Pureeing them and preparing them in a way that's IBS safe makes them easier to digest.

I haven't had a problem with low iron levels, even though I haven't eaten red meat in 10+ years. However, if you've had this problem before it seems like you would need to take iron supplements. You've probably tried this already, but could you take a lower dose of iron supplements, which might reduce the possibility of constipation?
