Ferritin Level Up A Little!

I had my ferritin rechecked the other day and it went from 22 to 34. Maybe I'm absorbing nutrients now. They rechecked it because I've been having very heavy menstrual bleeding, I thought for sure it would drop dangerously low but it actually went up!

Congratulations!  I'm hoping that my ferritin levels are increasing too!

That's good news.  I am hoping the same for me.  I recently began a supplement.

 

What specific improvements have been noted since the supplement began?  I am working on this, or should I say it.  I think I am losing some inflammation and numbness.  I may be losing weight.  More time will tell exactly.

I still get the tingling thing in my fingers. But my hair is less grey which is really weird. I've read here and other places that greying of hair is a symptom of low iron. It hasn't been long enough to feel a lot of improvement yet but I'm glad to see the number go up

This is exciting....my hair also became less gray as my nutrient levels improved. Took me a very long time to climb back to all good levels...hoping you all have much improved numbers quickly.

Thanks for sharing your good news :)

Ugh!  No signs of improvement on my grey hair which is really grey for my age!  But I don't color it.  My signs of improvement  (which could also be contributed to my increase in thyroid meds) for the anemia are reduced fatigue, bright red (instead of pale pink) inside my eyelids and a desire to run or ride my bike!  Really low hemoglobin causes me to get out of breath, just talking!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
