Hereditary Hemochromatosis

Hi ~ Haven't been on site for quite awhile now but back and searching for answers!  

I am almost 8 years celiac, totally gluten free, paleo diet for past 4 years,  and yippee, now I find that I have  Hereditary Hemochromatosis with genes provided by both parents. (thanks mom & dad!).  My ferritin levels are at 1200, should be 50, and am currently doing the weekly blood letting.  Sigh.  Just feel like I am getting weaker and weaker.  Muscle and joint pains, my vanity is shot as hair and eye lashes are falling out.  Feeling quite like an ugly sloth.  How was that for a Pity Party??! 

Basically just looking for anyone else out there going through this and any words of advice.  Help????

Wow!  I am sorry that you are sick!  My friend’s Dad had this disorder.  He became much better after treatment.  Like celiac disease, it takes....T I M E!  Ugh!   So, there is hope!  ?

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.

      Sounds like fun, and I was in Germany a few years ago so you might find these articles helpful:

      I just want to mention that we summarize the latest research on refractory celiac disease here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

      I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.

      Hello All I am traveling to Germany in October and will be in Berlin, Rothenburg ODT , Salzburg, Fussen and Munich.  I am also driving the northern part of the romantic road with stops in some of the smaller towns along the way.  I would really appreciate any recommendations for gluten-free friendly places, restaurants and any gluten-free beer gardens.  Thanks in advance, Laura
