I have had better luck with Hema-Plex than I ever had with any other iron supplement. http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Plus-Hema-Plex-30-Tabs/dp/B0007KS4ZQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & s=hpc & qid=1268316867 & sr=1-2Hope you can get it in the UK.That stinks that you can't get iron IVs. They've done me a world of good. Take a look at this post for other ideas on how to find a place to get them and medical staff that is (hopefully) more knowledgeable about them. I wrote it for a friend in the U.S. but I hope maybe there is something here useful for the U.K. as well.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/36032--- In RT3_T3 , Josie wrote:>> > 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.
