Low H/H 10/32

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone. I'm 12 weeks out from my gastric bypass, and have been

on Gleevec for 3+ years. My blood work shows a drop in my H/H and I

am guessing it is probably from the gastric bypass, however, being on

Gleevec probably doesn't help much either. Do any of you take iron

supplements with your Gleevec to keep the H/H in check??? I don't

think the procrit and such is necessary, just need a boost. Any input

would be appreciated!

hi Amy,

I take 1 iron tab 3 times a day (ferrous iron slow-release tab). it not only

helps me keep my iron up, it also counteracts the diahrrea.
