Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi Heidi thanks I saw the doc and asked for an iron injection and they also gave me a B12 I didnt know that B12 being low can cause depression. I feel a lot better today. I had been breaking out in boils nasty ... I will now get one a month. It seems and it may be true of alot of us that if we have severe constipation and diarhhea your body doesnt absosrb the iron and B12.... hence why mine is um 4 should be 24 ughhh. So thanks debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hiya Heidi I am sorry to hear that you ar efeeling so bad.Maybe its worthwhile getting a full set of blood tests. I would imagine that like me you may be deficient in B12 iron and maybe a few other things. I know that within a day of these injections I was starting to feel a lot better, so it may be worth a shot no pun intended ) Maybe with the othre supplements you take calcium could be good fr the teeth. I imagine that if you ae not absorbing stuff thentablets maybe not the go. What I did learn was that diarrhea and constipation excerbate the malbsorption. So maybe gie it a try Gosh the dentist doesnt sound so crash hot, I hate them so my sypathy is with you. take care my good friend thinking of you debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I am also suffering from anemia and what has helped me is taking 1 tbsp.blackstrap molassas three -four times a day and B12. Made a HUGE difference. I am also taking SLow Fe iron pills. Eileen > Hiya Heidi > > I am sorry to hear that you ar efeeling so bad.Maybe its worthwhile > getting a full set of blood tests.
