Low Ferritin but can't tolerate Iron supplements!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I had my Iron tested and these were the results

Serum iron 20 (14-30)Serum ferritin 27 (10-120)

suggested that I start taking Iron. So I've been on bluebonnet's 25mg Iron bisglycinate twice a day to start with (taken with food).

But I'm having real problems, I'm getting SEVERE stomach cramps all day and through the night and am quite constipated (so am taking magnesium)

My GP has refused to give me IV Iron. Am currently on T4 but in a month I will be starting T3 alone and so I MUST get my ferritin up.

Aaaah what I should I do?

Would really appreciate any advice

Thanks so much, don't know what I would do without these groups

Love
