Good evening everyone,
I´m writing on behalf of my sister who is lactating now on her second year and has been suffering from diarrhea for the last two months. She has always had a tendency to it, but it seems to be aggravated.
She is taking iron(liposmated) with vit C(ascorbic acid) because she has been diagnosed with anemia. We have both always had low ferritin hers is under range.
I wonder iron might be aggravating her digestive issues but she prefers not to stop it due to anemia.
I have heard of a product "ferritin" by cardiovascular research, will it be mild for the stomach?
or which iron should she be taking?
She is hashimoto, medicated with levo, and has been taking a multivitamin with traces of everything, including folate and iodine in high doses, as adviced by doctors. I am very much against the use of iodine for her but her doctors have recommended. My nephew is already 18months.
She has stopped the multivitamin and only takes iron now.
Any advice? thanks in advance
