I just wondered if anyone has ever used one of these, you collect enough blood in the little pippette tube, add the blood to a test cassette, add the buffer liquid, wait for 5 minutes.

Hi I have difficulty taking iron tablets even very low dose like spatone. I am not vegetarian and eat meat fish and varied diet apart from high fibre such as lentils which cause problems with my IBS.

I got to a better place with my fibro with a healthy diet, water, exercise, low dairy, low gluten, and low sugar. I've fallen into all of the opposite over Christmas and can't believe how poorly I feel. I've also come off vitamins as my GP said I have high iron and B12. Trouble is the pain stops you
