FERRITIN BLOOD RESULT ADVICE🌟🌟

[Rmichelle]

Hi all again

I have now been taking floravital 20 mls once a day iron liquid with added b vitamins in for 2 and half months and been feeling a little better sympton wise.

Ferritin 27 28-200range-it has taken me 2 months to increase to 27 from 10 in january-i think maybe i need the same sort of iron but stronger dose from the gp? How long should it take to rise to a decent level?- i know we are all different -it does say consider referring to gastro on my notes-i am celiac so i think a referral would be wise pushing with my gp, even though gp has brushed it under the carpet for now-surprise surprise !! I just think if it was a stronger dose i would get there quicker.🌟🌟xx

Hi rmichelle my ferretin level was 15 so GP did not prescribe anything I took actavis ferrous sulphate 200 mg one a day with good vitamin c and after three months my ferreting level was 62 I hope this will help....samy

Hi Samy3-my gp wrote to me to say i was anemic at 10 as it was below range but he did prescribe me 2 lots of supps but i found the type of iron he prescribed i could not take, im happy on my iron as it does have everything in it including vit c but it is taking too long to build up, hence this is whyvi need referring to a specialist like the labs note suggested as im celiac and maybe a absorption problem-i think i need to see gp. Thankyou .xx

Please read about iron on gotmag.org which will give you an insight and show you how you need to have the other iron tests done too. Good luck

I thought ferritin was iron?

[ChrisCh in reply to Rmichelle]

Yes but that is only one test in the complete iron panel. Diagnosis on that alone is not recommended. Please look at that site and inform yourself.

I use Active Iron tablets. You can buy them from Amazon.

Hi there beck42 thankyou, i have just had a word with my gp he did say i've got to be referred to gastric but did say i can double up on my iron dose now as i dont really want to change brands as this type of iron is really gentle. Thankyou.xx
