Serum Iron and PA

So checked instructions for serum Iron and iron panel. Some lab states serum iron can be high in PA (I assume untreated) and low when on B12 injections. So if this true is it low because rapid use of iron on B12?So checked instructions for serum Iron and iron panel.

Iron supplement

I am trying to take iron supplements to improve my levels but they make me feel so ill. Nausea and burning in my stomach. I've tried taking with food, with orange juice and a vit c tablet. What do others do to help with this? Would a PPI negate the effect?I am trying to take iron supplements to improve my levels but they make me feel so ill. Nausea and burning in my stomach.

Should iron be taken with food or away from food?

I know thyroid hormone is best taken 4 hours away from iron, calcium, Vit D, Magnesium. And iron should be taken away 2 hours away from all supplements. BUT my question is should iron be taken away from food or best with food? I usually take Vit C with iron to increase absorption.I know thyroid hormone is best taken 4 hours away from iron, calcium, Vit D, Magnesium.

Iron and constipation

My doctor recommended me a vitamin with iron. I have a minimum of 35 g of fiber and lots of water daily(per doctor recommendation). Since I started the vitamin, the constipation came back horribly. How do you fight that side effect of iron? Thank you and be safe!My doctor recommended me a vitamin with iron. I have a minimum of 35 g of fiber and lots of water daily(per doctor recommendation).

Iron Store

I’ve currently got a depleted iron store post surgery possibly in part due to not getting enough in my new vegan diet. Is there a good reference to the foods I should be introducing? Green stuff is an obvious one of course.I’ve currently got a depleted iron store post surgery possibly in part due to not getting enough in my new vegan diet.

Low ferritin?

I recently got print outs of blood tests that were done in November (when I was diagnosed B12d) and noticed this - Ferritin 22ug/L (female 11-307, note says <100ug/L in non-dialysed patients is likely to be iron responsive, consider iron therapy if anaemic) Should my GP have put me on iron?I recently got print outs of blood tests that were done in November (when I was diagnosed B12d) and noticed this - Ferritin 22ug/L (female 11-307, note says <100ug/L in non-dialysed patients is likely to be iron responsive, consider iron therapy if anaemic) Should my GP have put me on iron?

I also have problems absorbing iron and have iron infusions every 6 months so am wondering if this is a sign iron is low. I've recently increased my B12 from every 8 to every 4 weeks so wondered if that might deplete the iron more quickly.I also have problems absorbing iron and have iron infusions every 6 months so am wondering if this is a sign iron is low.

Best iron supplement?

In your experience, what is the best iron supplement to increase iron quickly? And I know quickly is relative. I’m taking “Slow FE” at this time. 45 mg of elemental iron. I’ve had some diarrhea with it. I doubled the dose the other day and had serious stomach issues as well as diarrhea.In your experience, what is the best iron supplement to increase iron quickly?
