Just to add re iron - I know Floradix do pills but I have only ever used the liquid tonic which is very gentle on the system - it's very natural and I can't imagine it has additives that would upset the stomach. If you are bleeding that much and feeling breathless ( I remember this from pregnancy) I really would try to boost your iron levels asap and thereafter of course maintain an iron rich diet.
Here are the ingredients from Floradix liquid:
Aqueous Extract (54%) from Carrots, Nettles, Spinach, Quitch Roots, Fennel, Ocean Kelp, African Mallow Blossom. Mixture of Fruit Juice Concentrates (29.4%) Pear, Grape, Blackcurrant Juice, Water, Blackberry, Cherry, Orange, Red Beet, Lemon, Carob Extract, It also says this :
"No alcohol, preservatives, colourings or artificial flavourings, & free from lactose
Floradix Liquid Iron Formula contains iron (in the form of iron gluconate), vitamins B2, B6, B12 and C, which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and to normal energy yielding metabolism. Iron also contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation, which is supported by vitamins B6 and B12. Floradix also contains vitamin C, which increases iron absorption.
As these nutrients are already dissolved in the liquid, they're absorbed more quickly by the digestive system compared to tablets. Floradix is particularly beneficial for people with an active lifestyle, and expectant and lactating mothers."
Hope this helps
