Or Horrrrr tell donor wrong thing!

I've donated my 33rd time today in a very crowded HSA. Got some special event were the Burd Bank was celebrating it's birthday. The lunch time horde was fed by the Vegetarian Society of Singapore. Neber asked them if they are paeso, lacto, ovo or vegan. I'm a meatarian - eating there was against my religion. Also neber met ah kwan there also.

Anywayz, my eyes opened big big when one missy tell patients to take iron before food. Then I check what was printed on the iron tablet packet was really take before food. I neber took their iron supplements before (for the obvious reasons - male and a weekly diet of BCM), so neber realised until today. The Staff told me the advice from the Doc was take between meals and with juice - orange juice best.

Patients when they see take before food: to them means to take on empty stomach. Neber eat food after that neber mind. Lidat, I confirm you doing Taiji Quan on the royal throne for a nong nong time. Imagine euu do this 3x a year or more - self penetration (trans into Mandarin plox) will confirm happen one and when happen, will be happening.

Donors' compliance most important if not all medicine in times of need become poison when taken the wrong way w/o pharmacist advice.

Anyway here's OJ's advice for Fe Fumarate:

- Take with or after food. If got stomach irritation, do the latter
- Take with vitamin C or vitamin C rich foods to increase absorption
- Drink more water
- The key is that the more Fe you absorb, the less constipation you have
- If you on an empty stomach, the chances is the Fe2+ becomes Fe3+ and ur body won't be able to absorb and you get your constipation resulting.
- Your crap come out brack coror neber mind but should return to normal coror once you finished the course
- Come back for your next donation when you are ready and have a nice day.
