Re: Brand new to this.... - Iron???

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm new to this to and have a big question about iron. My son had severe iron

deficient anemia and has been on oral supps for a while... Now his iron levels

have normalized but he is on a maintence dose daily. Any advice? Thanks in

andvance for any responses and sorry to have not introduced myself before just

jumping in... :-)

Hi,

Eating ice is usually a sign of low iron in the body. I know SCDer's shouldn't

do iron but that is usally a sign of needing more iron.

Hi Sheila,

I went to this site. It came up with empty search boxes. Does eating ice

chips a lot mean PICA?

Thanks,

How about looking at getting iron from his diet instead of the

supplements.
