Taking the iron with my meal makes it not upset my stomach. It's nice to have energy again...and not crave ice. If I forget to take it, it only takes a day and my body reminds me in subtle ways to take it. Iron is relatively cheap, too.

I was having difficult taking this, stomach upset. A friend informed me to take Vitamin C when I take the iron and my stomach upset has mostly disappeared.
