Sudden Health Crisis

[nananana]

After being in great type 1 diabetic control (A1C - 6) and fantastic health, my husband suddenly had a health crisis. This seemed to coincide with the initiation of an essential amino acid supplement. He has always dealt with constipation but it worsened and he lost his appetite. We called the company and they said that the product had added fiber, so he discontinued the amino acid supplement. Within a month or so, he began to develop anemia, muscle wasting, CHF, CKD, lower extremity edema, pallor, exhaustion, etc. After a follow up blood draw, his doctor called to tell us his hemoglobin was considered to be critically low

It can take awhile to heal and start absorbing nutrients normally again. Perhaps he needs to keep up the iron infusions for a bit? He may have also gotten glutened but usually we will see a reoccurance of some of the issues that we had before we went gluten free like rashes coming back, bloating, stomach pain, D or C etc.

I hope things get figured out and he is feeling better soon.
