High iron levels

[Arthurwall]

Would like to see a list of foods to avoid to lower high iron levels.

Do you have a thyroid problem, especially Hashimoto's ?

Post results if so

If ferritin is very high this needs investigation for hemochromatosis or other possibilities

Thanks for your interest. I do not have thyroid problems. I don't understand why I've been put in that group. I've been informed that my ferritin level is a bit high and would like to know what I should avoid in my diet

More likely genetic as I understand it

You have posted this in wrong interest group.

Nobody puts you in a group, you must have accidentally posted your question in this group.

I agree with SlowDragon. However, if your "ferritin level is a bit high" did you have your saturation rate (TIBC) etc. measured to rule out haemochromatosis?

However, even if you're just interested in appropriate foods, you might want to take a look at this guide: haemochromatosis.org.uk/die...

Thank you.
