Suggest Treatment For Constipation, Stomach Cramps And Bloating
Question: I have been taking Corvite for approx. 8 months. It was prescribed for my by my Oncologist. My iron levels were below normal. I had a colonoscopy, endoscopy and an capsule endoscopy, no bleeding was found. My last visit was in December, my iron level was up, but not exactly normal, he told me to continue taking the Corvite. I do not have an appointment with him until May, however, I do have an appointment with my pulmalogist on Monday, I will address my issues with him. They are, I have been constipated for two weeks, much bloating and cramps, I stopped the Corvite . I did a search and found out that people could overdose from taking too much of this mineral. I do not want to call poison control, but is there anyway I can relieve this feeling?

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have constipation, bloating and cramps. These all symptoms are common with corvite. It is known to cause this kind of gastrointestinal side effects. You should stop that drug. Check your iron level and then take treatment accordingly. You should take iron rich food like dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, jeggary etc. If you can not tolerate oral iron then yoy can take injectable iron. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
