what can I not eat taking iron pills and why is that so?
If you are asking about the risks for taking iron supplements, you should know that taking too much iron is not good and even dangerous esp. if you are male. And if you are just a kid, you may actually die from iron poisoning. This is why there is no iron in vitamins for kids. Anyway, it is important to know that iron cannot be flushed out of the body except through bloodletting (i.e., donating blood) and menstruation. This means that men, kids and menopausal women are at risk from iron overload.
