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
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
