Re: worried about iron issues/iron IVs and the liver

April 27, 2010

I've had at least 20 Venofer iron IVs over the last decade and my liver is just

fine. If anyone was going to get liver damage from iron IVs it would be me, I

can absorb almost no oral iron and depend on the IVs for just about my entire

iron supply.

Sounds very promising. I'm seriously considering trying it, as I have low

ferritin as well 27 and have not been able to get it up supplementing with 200

mg elemental iron various brands over 2 years.

impossible. I am afraid about starting to use all kind of " anti-constipation "

stuff cause I am afraid
