I take Prilosec so I make sure I take my iron and calcium at least a couple

hours before and after. Iron still kills acid but with my acidic stomach and

GERD, I need it. I have plenty of acid left over to absorb the vits.......lol

Great link.

Ok...

Things like antacids and prilosec are Iron Killers,

we shouldn't drink tea because of the tannins,

and...we need to watch out for...Phytates which are prominent in wheat

and some other cereals.

I'm wondering if your sprouted bread contain phytates?

lol...I'm not even sure what the heck phytates are!

Isn't anything easy about the DS diet?  I've been happily eating WW and sprouted

wheat bread from time to time, thinking it was a good, healthy choice.  Then

comes mention of phytates which have an adverse effect on calcium and other

minerals.  Sheesh!

Thanks, Marta.

Is there any downside to having my first labs done now (4 months out) as a

sort of baseline for future labs?

Re: iron absorption link

Phil,

Don't worry about it too much. If you did, you would starve yourself

and only eat supplements. After one year, when you do your labs, then

you will find out if you need to adjust your calcium or other

supplements. I have been eating sprouted grain bread since my first

year out. It is really a life-saver for me. The benefit of the fiber

and sprouting of the grain outweighs any negatives, in my opinion.

Jo,

Am I supposed to be taking iron, too?

Maybe this surgery is just too complicated for me. (This is a fine time to

figure that out.......).

No worries...just take your iron on an empty stomach and enjoy a

phyates or two the rest of the day.

You are right Mel, they are done at six months, then yearly thereafter. Pearl
