Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 All ferrous is iron, but all iron is not ferrous. So there are other types of iron, but anything that starts with ferrous is a type of iron. Carolyn Iron HI guys.. It has been what seems like forever since I have been able to post.. but this one on iron has me curious. In one of the post someone said that all iron is Ferrous.. something or other.. according to my pharmacist that isn't true.. I am on Carbonyl Iron.. much much easier on the stomach according to her. My labs were way off in Hemoglobin and Hemocrit, not to mention some of the others..I have to get back to what is important, my water and hydration before I pass out anymore than I have been.. anyway, I just wanted to let you know what my pharmacist said about iron and see if anyone else has heard of Carbonyl.. best wishes for a great holiday!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 We've had great luck with carbonyl iron! Indeed. Actually, it was that ferrous indicates iron, but doesn't indicate the form. It takes two words to describe the complex. Ferrous means iron, but not all iron is called ferrous. Yep.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Can anyone tell me what to take for iron. I can't seem to find any that doesn't have fillers, sugars or Lactose in them. What does everyone else do that is low in iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else do > that is low in iron? You should indicate your condition and how long you've been on the diet in order to get answers to your questions. Your body hoards iron when you have IBD so it's no surprise that your blood iron levels are low. As your condition improves your blood values are likely to improve as well. Iron supplements feed the bad bacteria so you want to avoid them. -- Cheers, DF in MA UC June '07 SCD Nov '08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
