How do you get iron when you suffer from C?

My doctor had me cut out my iron in my vitamins because of the problem with constipation since I suffer mostly with C.  I have been really tired lately and not sure if I'm not getting enough iron in my diet (in fact I know I'm not because all iron rich foods are triggers for me UGH).  My doctor never said anything about how to get iron by other means and when I asked him about injections, he said that is the last option however did not seem concerned about testing me.  I did get a physical a few months ago however I don't know if they tested my iron levels at that time.  This was all done through my GP.  I'm wondering now if I should just go to my GI about this however I feel really silly seeing a specialist about a possible iron deficiancy when my GP should really be taking care of this.  I may consider looking for a new GP (oh, I hate looking for a new doctor anything) but how does anyone else with C get their iron?

I can't tolerate a lot of veggies... only some... almost all green veggies (so full of fiber and iron) are triggers for me. V8 makes me cramp just thinking about it. I will give my GP a call and request this be done. I have to go in again for a cholestorol blood test again so I will ask if they can check at the same time. I don't think that its any other vitamin or mineral deficiency since I do take a multi-vitamin, plus calcium citrate, plus vitamin E unless my body is not absorbing them correctly. Thanks I will check with him again.
