Re: bruising / cold /Ferritin

[Guest guest]

You all might be interested in a liquid iron supplement called Floradix Iron

+ Herbs. It is non-constipating and easily absorbed. My Mother did quite

well on it. I got it at Vitacost.com. I was able to purchase twice the

volume for the same price as the initial one purchased at my Health Food

store. Regards, El

I learned a year ago when in the hospital that I was anemic. Today I see a

hematologist every 3-6 months, do blood testing and typically have a drip

bag of Ferritin. According to my doctor iron pills do not absorb as easily

(for me not at all) and cause great constipation for myself and many. This

is common. That should definitely be checked and watched. It is not unusual

that you would be bruising and cold and can easily be controlled.

I thought it was Raynaud's and just related AI symptoms.

I can vouch for Floradix as well. It has worked well for me and is very easy on

the stomach.

how odd, I can not take iron, and I have tried a variety of it but it makes me

sick to my stomach so I asked my AP doctor and she told me that I don't need it.

But why would it make me sick?

Eva,

You ask, " *But why would it (iron) make me sick?* "

*This may be because iron is a metal in its basic form. Metals can carry a

charge that is magnetic or electric, affecting muscles and nerves in the

bowel.
