Sherry,

You're a great mom! I know it must feel awful not to be able to make all this

yucky stuff go away for her. Poor .... what a lot to go through! And in the

end, I suppose it will mostly just be for the purpose of the doctors being able

to say they ruled everything out. ??

I would definitely go for the shots.... and bypassing the gut. Would the shots

be really traumatic for her? Seems like they may be able to get her levels up

faster. I would think that if the gut is really whacked out, the iron may not be

absorbed correctly anyway.

I was told by my naturopath that she always prescribes B-complex vitamins when

someone's labs come back showing low iron..... apparently those play a big part

in absorbtion of iron. And, of course, Vitamin C.

I wish oral iron supps didn't do such a number on the gut. I know they really

tend to feed yeast.

Hang in there.... you need a hug?

((((((((((((((((((((Sherry))))))))))))))))))))

Re: IRON SUPPLEMENTS are not legal

I don't expect a response to this but I gotta tell ya hearing this admonition

over and over again on this list is really troubling to me as my dtr keeps

becoming dangerously anemic and the doctors are insinuating I'm mistreating her

if I don't get the iron supplements into her. They make her crazy with stomach

pain and they refuse to understand how awful her behaviors are when she's taking

them. Believe me she needs alot more than liver. They're talking now about doing

iron shots to bypass the gut. I'm a mess. They just finished a 5.5 hour xray

series after 2 cups of barium which proved nothing and now want to put her in

the hospital with an ng tube down her nose to pour in the laxative crapola then

give her a combined endoscopy and colonoscopy the following day. It just never

ends with this kid and i am feeling like the world's worst mom.

Yes, usually there isn't much B-12 in a complex supplement.... plus you don't

absorb B-12 well if you're just swallowing it orally. A sublingual or a shot is

much better, from what I have heard.

Re: IRON SUPPLEMENTS are not legal

I'm going to go back on a comp; hopefully it won't be too

much with the shots; I don't think there's much B12 in the comps

though.
