Is it necessary to fast prior to doing a full iron panel test?
Does anyone know whether the results are adversely affected by eating and drinking prior to drawing blood for an
iron
panel test? I’m talking at home, finger prick testing. Thanks.

Negative Reply from GP
I wrote to my GP advising the fact I had an
iron
infusion and hade started EOD B12 injections, etc. and asking if I could have the B12 ampoules on prescription. Needless to say I didn’t really expect them to say yes, and they didn’t surprise me!

Ferritin
Why do we need to check ferritin, and how is it different than checking
iron
? Thank you.

Couple of questions re blood results
I'm taking
iron
tablets but maybe I need to take tablets with a high level or
iron
? I'm also waiting for an appointment at the neurovascular clinic as my GP contacted the hospital about the neurological symptoms I'm getting. Is that the correct referral though and are they likely to help me?

Blood thinners and ferritin levels
I take a course of
iron
tablets, feel okay for a few weeks and then it starts again. Just wondering if anybody has also experienced this.

Creating a Framework for Treating Autoimmune Gastritis—The Case for Replacing Lost Acid
Supplemental vitamin C is worthy of consideration in AIG, as it may decrease cancer risk in hypochlorhydria and improve
iron
absorption.[/i] [i] [/i] [i]Autoimmune gastritis is more than B12 and
iron
deficiency. It is also an acid deficiency with broad effects.

Interested in IBS symptoms
Blood tests about 2 years ago showed that I now have very low
iron
(although I’m not apparently anaemic). At first I was put on a big dose of an
iron
supplement for 4 months which brought my levels up to normal (although not, my GP said, what they might expect given how much
iron
I’d been taking).

iron overload
So just wondering how and if the therapy affects people once they start since if he continues to require blood transfusions I am worried that he will need to start this therapy to release the
iron
since there is no way that I know of to naturally remove
iron
from your body. Thanks

Broccoli tendersteam
Hi guys I just wanted to find out an opinion, I need to have lots of
iron
rich foods I've bought some tender steam broccoli today from the co-op on special offer I didn't have a steamer so I had to boil them a little bit of water and then put a lid on top of the pot to get the Steam.

After 3 o/clock
We're thinking of reporting this latest catastrophe as if I had taken new
iron
tablets the whole thing would have sent my blood through the roof. I'm not happy at all.

Blood test results
Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment/ malabsorption/ lack of adherence to treatment/ calcium or
iron
supplements or coeliac disease. I have been taking as instructed and don't take any supplements. Would the next logical increase be to 50mcg? Thanks

NAFLD and Iron Deficiency
deficiency, and my ferritin has dropped low again so I suspect I’ll need more
iron
tablets and quite possibly a long term maintenance dose… my question is, is this safe with my liver?

Thank you
I did wonder recently what my
iron
level was like now as it has been sometime since l had it checked. It was very good at 200 but of course it can go down. I asked my doctor for a blood test explaining the reason but was refused.
