Re: Lab results for iron....suggestions?

[Guest guest]

That's a great question about the cast iron pan. I take t3 away from iron

supplements, but I have no idea how much iron comes off a cast iron pan and if

that would interfere with t3 absorption?

Some iron definitely comes off cast iron pans into the food. I don't know if

it's enough to affect T3 absorption. Taking the T3 sublingually, if possible,

would bypass this potential problem.

I was using a cast iron pan for a while - it began to upset my stomach. I found

this site recently which talks about the importance of stomach acidity and using

manganese to bring iron levels up:

The page about tin is pretty interesting too - he says that tin supports the

adrenals.

Hypo people are prone to low stomach acidity; I believe that's why so many here

are low in both iron and B12.

Some on this group have improved their digestion (and nutrient absorption) by

taking Betaine HCL. Here's a post from Moderator on this:

I found the Betaine HCL too rough on my stomach and take OTC papaya enzymes to

assist digestion/absorption.
