Iron deficiency, does not just mean take lots of iron.

If your iron is low, check out Blood Vitality

Well said. Sad doctors don’t tell you these things

I had to take betaine hydrochloride to raise my stomach acid so I could actually absorb the iron.

I was taking 325ml once a day and doctor told me to take it two times a day with orange juice (vitamin c). Hope it feels better quickly. I feel so tired, shortness of breath, sleepy all the time. Can’t do basic daily work like making my bed. I feel dizzy when I bend, my whole body is just so weak and it feels like I’m gonna die lol. Really, it feels like I’m dying.

my ferritin came back 7, when normal starts at 20. I feel extremly tired and my veins buldge up to the point I have pain in my hands. I tried to tell doctor that I have some kind of inflammation and taking iron is not helping but I get no help. TOday I got blue purple undereyes and I never had that before I feel like everyday is struggle to live but I also have some kind of lump on my neck and burning pain in abdomen. I have given up soon

Vitamin C, B12 and folate needs to be taken too. D3 and K2 I also went gluten free low sugar

When I was little they thought I had asthma, then doctors started assuming my allergies were causing respiratory problems, now I’m getting tested for anemia this week 😀👍

[zjunegirl]

Hi so I got my results

Iron 17 umol/L
Iron binding capacity 53 umol/L
Iron saturation 32
Ferratin 134 ug/L

Is there a longer more specific Video on exactly what to test and how to fix like the copper etc?

I just came out of my Doctor with ferritin in 3 ng/mL, total iron in 4 and they just gave me iron pills. I know more than that, but im not sure where to start. I dont eat a lot of meat, but i dont want to eat it every day as it is heavy on my body

So in the last few weeks was contacted by Gynae team and told my iron or ferritin level was below one. Called in for immediate iron infusion x 2. They were scared that if I had one more heavy menstrual bleed I'd collapse. Had both bags of iron, still feel crap, what else can I do?

[racheldoucet]

I started taking 600mg sulfate iron every day because, according to blood tests, i have anemia... I don't even know what that means really..I just know I have to take it for 6 months 😮 I'm one week in and I feel like my guts are ripping from the inside and everything taste like metal. Also those painful black stools ! Is it permanent? I honnestly don't know if I can do this 😢

My ferritin was 7 but I have a high hemoglobin. Can I use 21 mg of liquid iron a day? I took higher dose supplements before but that made me feel even worse. I take c-vitamin, D-vitamin and selenium. I stopped taking zinc because I believe it depleated my copper levels. I want to start with a non-methylated b-complex as well. Does this seem like a good approach?

[kimkoons]

so i was scheduled for an iron infusion by my gastro doctor how do i figure out what’s missing

[bonnielindkvist]

Are your supplements okay to take if I am allergic to standard iron supplements? I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and I am not sure what iron I can use without reacting.

Is there any link between iron supplements CAUSING low stomach acid/poor absorption? I have all my vitamins and minerals checked, but suddenly got extreme indigestion symptoms pointing to low stomach acid - I've started taking super low doses of iron two weeks ago, like 7mg a day max. But the last time I took iron many years ago, I had the same thing happen, and only now notice that there seems to be a link?

[elisabethklinge]

I took B100 complex and vitamin d in the morning, iron at 11am with 250mg of vitamin C, zinc mid afternoon and magnesium before bed (helped so much with leg aches) I also drank a BCAA mix and 2-3 times a week I'd each a small cube of liver to try and get a good source of cooper - it was gross but worth it. I got my ferritin from 27 to 80 andmy hemoglobin up from 127-139! I had cut out meat and was over training and wow did I feel like I was going to literally fall over dead. Never again!

[zqqduio]

Dr., - would just taking a good complete multivitamin that contains the daily rda of these vitamins & minerals be enough to help cure this?

[BS-dqkz]

My iron was at 7.8 a few weeks ago. I had a bad 2 week long menstrual cycle right after that. I can hardly breathe and having slight chest pains and some palpitations. I’m scheduled for an iron infusion but it didn’t help last time. At all. I actually felt worse for 2 months. I’m so sick of feeling this way. Idk what to do besides have my hysterectomy, which I’m about to have done soon.

[KimberlyLovesJesus-]

Would a multi vitamin supplement be best?

[farhat]

Does high fiber (particularly from psyllium husk) interfere with iron absorption ?
