Autoimmune Questions

The New-Test Forum - Drugs and Allergies

	From	To
I am anemic but when I take iron supp to correct my iron goes high but ferritin stays low. I'm worried about iron overload but my doc says keep taking iron. Should I keep taking the iron until ferritin goes up? What about my kidney function when in iron overload? I also have Hashimotos and some positive antibodies (ana positive and tpo).	dawniem 8/9/2006	.
have you been tested for celiac sprue? I had low iron/anemia for 6 years - would take tons of iron and it wouldn't help. Finally found out it was the celiac -- No more gluten for me & my iron levels are rising!! Look into it...	AMA17 10/3/2006	.
