Celiac- prescription iron meds😁

[Rmichelle]

Hi there its been ages since I last posted anything but here goes- I have been supplementing since January with a iron supplement called floravital which is gluten free and soya free but being I am very iron deficient it is not been lifting my levels, I have now been referred to haem/GI.

I have gp appt on the 6th August to discuss me having either a infusion or strong iron tablets, just wondering if anyone here takes prescription based irons which are suitable for Celiac's whether its tablets, injection, infusion etc. Cannot take OTC meds as they are not strong enough now.🌟 big thanks.

Hi yes I have tried that with regular liver, meats dark green leafy vegs, I have got to the stage now where I'm very symptomatic and need something fast, I really need to sort this out now after being on a standard over the counter supplement for months with regular iron tests but it has not risen one inch!! Thankyou for the link.😊😊
