Everytime I read something I find out something else I shouldn't be doing!
Now I read (PPLP) that iron could be bad for me and make me hypothyroid (just what I need) amongst other things.
There's no way you can get a ferritin test here just by asking for one.
My mum has always been slightly anaemic and all my life I've had in my head that I need to make sure I take enough iron.
When I go to give blood, sometimes they don't let me because my blood isn't 'heavy' enough, ie not enough iron.
At the moment (regularly since starting LC and intermittently before) I take a multivitamin and mineral with 14mg of iron. I thought I was doing myself good and avoiding anaemia, but I might be making myself ill.
So - I am supposed to take iron or not - I don't know how to find out. Any views?
Thanks, Jay
