Re: For Val: New Iron labs

[Guest guest]

For hypothyroid people Iron is VERY slwo to rise and it takes the HUGE

doses I recommend ot bring it uo, so yeah yo need more, these labs just

prove thta and I am glad you did them. It is just a shame ti took a

year of struggling to get to this point. I ge tvery frustrated

with you as I have done WAY more research into thyroid/adrneal issues

than most doctors ever will. I woudl NEVER tell you to do something

that might harm you. If it si a remote possibility I woudl tell you.

The correct iron is Iron Boisglucinate and I believe it si chelated.

LOTS of viotamin C with that wil help you absorb it best and you need

B12 proabbyl 5000mcg to 1MG SUBLINGUAL as it doe s nto absorb well in a

multi or swallowd.

Der ,

I know how you feel about me and my iron. I should've taken

200 mg daily a long time ago. Well, I believe things are about to

change. I just won't get my iron up as things are now, so, I will do

the necessary changes to make my Ferritin increase. I've felt bad long

enough now.

I just wanted to hear what you have to say about the results

after taking an inadequate 100 mg iron daily. I do believe my iron

absorption is bad because of possible lack of stomach acid, and also a

bit low copper. The latter is proven a bit low, though not below the

low range.

My GP "forced" me to run an iron test all of a sudden, so I

did _not_ stop iron 5 days before this test was made. BUT from previous

experience, I saw no difference on my own labs stopping or not stopping

iron before the tests were made.

I don't believe the iron type/brand I am taking is the best

one. The TABLETS are rock solid hard, and with my digestion, they just

CAN'T be absorbed anyways. I will order BlueBonnet iron today: BUT

which one of the two kinds they have should I buy? The chelated one,

right?

Ferritin: 36 (30 - 250 m g/L)

Iron: 20.5 (9 - 34 m mol/L )

Transferrin: 2.6 (2.0 - 5.0 mg/L)

Transferrin saturation 32% (15 - 57 %)

B12: 361 (160 - 800 pmol/L) (I added this because I think it

explains some of my fatigue)

As things look now, I am not overdoes on iron. I must just

believe that with these labs, iron WILL NOT BE STORED IN MY ORGANS

(which would be a bad things) - I just want you to agree with me on

that!

I've been on iron for almost 1 year now. Obviously,

something needs to change so that I can get my Ferritin up. (Add:

Beatin/Copper/More Iron)

Thanks for your time!
