Re: Levels and advice--Feosol questions

[Guest guest]

Sam,

How many Feosol per day should I take to get my Ferritin up? I am

going to look for some at Wallgreens today. Do regular drug stores

carry it or do I need to look at IHerb or something similar?

Isn't Feosol ferrous sulfate? I took large amounts of ferrous sulfate

in the past and it did nothing as well for my ferritin.

Do you think that as I am stabilized on Armour that maybe that will be

a key for getting iron to absorb? Does low ferritin and low thyroid

go hand in and and feed off of each other? Maybe like this--low

thyroid causes low ferritin-low ferritin makes raising thyroid difficult?

Maybe one of the reasons why I am so sensitive to Armour is because my

Ferritin is only 30?

I am also gluten intolerant so I am predisposed to not having my

nutrients absorb well. My Enterolab test showed that I was absorbing

fat well though so I would think that I am also absorbing other

nutrients well but who knows.

Thanks for your help. I really really appreciate it! I would give

you a big hug if you were here!

Hi Sam,

I am looking up Feosol:

http://www.feosol.com/faq.aspx

The page above says that Feosol CAPLETS contain Carbonyl iron and

Feosol Tablets contain Ferrous Sulfate.

Is the Carbonyl iron the better one? Do you know if there is a

difference? I have never heard of carbonyl iron before.

Thanks,

Kathy

I am sorry to post so many times. I just read that Feosol is not

gluten free--I cannot take it!!!! I hate this gluten problem! I am

going to call my doctor on Monday and ask for the RX iron Repliva.

Hopefully I do not find out that that has gluten in it as well.

Kathy

Here's " the " list of gluten-free drugs:

http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm

I see that feosol has " traces " fo gluten, but there are a couple of iron

supps that don't. Remember to take vitamin c with iron supplements.
