Hi,

Yes, these symptoms may be caused by supplements. Especially iron tablets or syrup can cause many gastric issues.

You should not worry. However you should avoid taking too many drugs at same time, and try to take it after food. Use some. Antaacids like gaviscon ffor few days.

If you feel hyperacidity, ie burning in the stomach you may use acid suppressant drugs for few days like omeprazole once a day for 2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
