Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi there, I have a question regarding iron test results... I had an iron panel done a week-ish ago. I had stopped all iron supplements but didn't stop my molasses. Here are the results TIBC 296 <250-450> UIBC 151 <150-375> Iron, serum 145 <35-155> Iron saturation 49% <15-55> Ferritin 20 <10-291> Since we weren't sure if the molasses messed things up I stopped that for a week and redid the iron panel without ferritin <I have to pay for it and was pretty sure it wasn't falsely elevate > TIBC 278 <250-450> UIBC 167 <150-375> Iron, serum 111 <35-155> Iron saturation 40% <15-55> So does anyone know, is it safe for me to supplement iron? I know I need to get my ferritin up.... any thoughts would be great! Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 The iron panel looks pretty good to me, but you still have a little ways to go and still be in range. Hopefully you are now at the point that what iron you take will go to storage. I think you need to keep taking it but monitor your levels.
