It's impossible to find a men's multi vitamin with iron in it.. because men usually don't need iron..   

I was going to get Rainbow Light Mens Multivitamin...  But only the women's version has iron included..  everything else in it is basically the same as the men's version..

Is it ok if I just take the women's version since it has the 6mg of iron in it?

My Dr wanted me to take one with iron it...  My iron levels are normal but they were towards the lower end of normal which I guess is why he wanted me to take one with iron it.

I was going to take an iron supplement separately but they are way too high at like 35mg..

The  supplement industry  does not formulated products with iron for men nor post menopausal women.

Men do not require iron as they do not lose their stores like a menstruating woman does.

So.. I should or should not take one with iron?

This is a question you should ask your doctor. Likely he can also give advice on which one to take rather than posting queries about many very expensive ones.

You could also look into more iron rich foods like liver, as one example. You can do a search for iron rich foods to find others.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      Yes, IMO, you need to quit and look for another job. You can't put a price on your health. It's unfortunate that your parents don't understand but they don't have to live with the ravages of unattended celiac disease. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and just be willing to live with the fact that some people will not understand. I don't know your age but that's being an adult and taking ownership of your life.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      Just got a new job working at a grocery chain, never worked grocery before. Mon (19th) and Thur (22nd) started feeling flu-like, realized I had probably been glutened at work but not sure how, didn't eat it! Found out I probably breathed in loads of it while handling bread and flour products stocking shelves on those 2 dates. I am in pain, but I don't have a back-up plan and I can't keep damaging my body. I tried to ask for a reasonable accom. but the manager says it would be an undue burden because i have to avoid two aisles. I am sad because i liked this job to start but now I'm really going through it. Today I didn't stock bakery or baking aisle and I was just starting to come out of it, now the symptoms are starting up again. I live w my parents and they don't understand or care to understand. I will be unemployed while I search for something new, but I am damaging my body in this current job and they can't switch me anywhere because I'm part time and a new hire. Should I trust my intuition and quit, and then apply for jobs outside of my home so my parents believe I am still going to work (until I finally find a job that doesn't handle gluten)?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment to address your symptoms, especially given your family history of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease. Your symptoms—such as stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, nausea after gluten consumption, joint pain, and headaches—do align with common signs of celiac disease, so it’s definitely worth discussing with your doctor. To help your doctor understand your concerns clearly, consider writing down a detailed list of your symptoms, including when they started, how often they occur, and any patterns you’ve noticed (like symptoms worsening after eating gluten). Mentioning your family history of autoimmune conditions will also be helpful, as celiac disease has a genetic component. You might also ask about getting tested for celiac disease, which typically involves blood tests and possibly an endoscopy. Avoid cutting gluten out of your diet before testing, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Hopefully, your doctor can provide clarity and guide you toward the right next steps—hang in there, and good luck with your appointment!
