My husband plunging out the shower drain when I could not get out of there in time during a flare and clogged it up with gooey, mucousy, poop. No word of complaint....
I take ferrous sulfate pills when my iron is low and never have had any problems. They're cheap as dirt too....
Boiled carrots, steamed zucchini, stir fried mushrooms are the main vegetables I eat when flaring....
