Advice & Tips
Since being on the gluten free diet for over 4 months I had my iron levels tested again & sure enough - they are back in the normal range for the first time in 2 years - so my gut is obviously working much better without gluten! which also confirms the increase in my energy levels & reduction of brain fog - Hooray!

Advice & Tips
As a Gastric Bypass patient, I could not take Ferrous Sulfate. The other irons did not absorb well. In August I had an Iron IV infusion. I will have to have them every 6 months.
