Loestrin 24 Fe reminder pills, gas?

Question

I am on my first pack of Loestrin 24 Fe, and took the first iron pill last night. Today, I thought I was going to have explosive diarrhea several times. Turns out, it was just explosive gas. Kinda like when you leave the gas on too long before lighting the grill...explosion! OMG! I have never in my life!! Has anyone had this side effect with this pill? And will i have this every month?

Answer 1

I have never had this experience before (I took Loestrin Fe under an older name Loestrin Fe 1/20), but I would recommend letting your doctor know what's going on. When I had problems with the Loestrin Fe I had issues with my breasts left worse than the other. I reported the problem to the company as well.
