Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Caitlin I am unable to take iron as my bone marrow has excessive stores and won't be released if I'm taking extra iron. This was determined by a bone marrow aspiration. I haven't heard that all with mito should avoid it, but that might mean that I didn't pay attention to it because I can't take it. That might be a good question to " ask the mito doc " on the umdf web site. laurie > I had blood work done a couple of months ago and my mom just recently > sent the results to the nutritionalist to look at.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Caitlin, In addition, our brother, who is assumed to have mito, doesn't store enough iron. Of course, he has a HORRIBLE diet, so I suspect it has a lot to do with that also. I was told to get just enough to keep my RBC at a decent level, but not higher. Where my multi with iron is suppose to be taken 2 a day, I only take the one with iron, 1 every other day. My mito doc thought that was a good way to go with my daughter and I, in hopes in wouldn't become an issue at a later point.
