Iron gummies are a thing, and helpful to a family member. Multi-vitamin gummies too, which might have enough iron to keep levels up depending on the condition.
Try Ferrochel! Normal ferrous sulfate absolutely destroys my stomach and gives me tarry shits but I can take Ferrochel on an empty stomach without any side effects.
My partner takes Megafood's "Blood Builder" iron supplement which seems to work well and avoids the GI symptoms.
Disolving tablets and consuming in liquid form is an alternative.
