I Need An Iron Supplement That Is Gentle

I saw my dermatologist yesterday, and she has been doing some research to find a connection between my DH and my problem of getting boils all the time.

She told me that she did find a connection in reference to low serum iron and the boils. I do have low iron all the time, even after going gluten-free I am just barely at the bottom of the normal range (although at least I'm IN the normal range now, that's an improvement).

The problem is that every iron supplement I've ever tried has upset my stomach very badly, even the Slo-FE that is supposed to be more gentle. What do you guys use?

The one my doc put me on is Brayer Fergon. I dunno how gentle it is considered, but I have not had any any problems with it.

Remeber though your best source of Iron is red meat. Maybe add more fo that in your diet, plus more iron rich veggies? I have had ot do that PLUS take an Iron pill.. but every case is different and I am not a doctor! :)

My dd has low iron levels and her Dr. suggested that we give her chlorophyl liquid. He said is doesn't taste very good but it can be mixed with other things. I also found a company that has mint flavored chlorophyl that's gluten-free. You might want to do a search on the composition and benefits of chlorophyl. The products that I've been looking at are derived from alfalfa. :)

Also, a really good, unsulphured, black strapp molasses is high in iron. However, the molasses should be taken with vitamin C to increase absorption. The molasses I got at the health food store was much higher in iron than the one I got at my grocery store.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.
