Iron deficiency
I got some blood test results from my GP today, the good news is that my cholesterol is 4.8 which he seemed pleased with, but he was very concerned at my low iron levels.
I have got to take 200mg iron 3 times a day and the pills he has prescribed are sugar coated, anyone have any idea how many carbs 3 little pills will cost me and are sugar free versions available?
I've been taking Atkins basic 3 which I now realise doesn't contain iron, previously I've used centrium which does, although my GP seemed surprised that my levels could have got so low when my diet is not deficient in meat!!! and green veg.
I'm not particularly worried but thought I'd post this in case anyone else has been under the same misapprehension about Atkins basic 3 containing iron.
