just a thought, An employee at the health food store once told me that red meats (steak, pork chops) are a purer type of meat.

I've not used it yet but others may know about it. we found...

My 12 yr old son has also been taking iron by RX and his levels are lower than when he started taking them and being gluten-free 6 weeks ago. At what level can iron be without great concern for a iron transfusion? We tried to take them with Vit C and the inside of his mouth broke out and looked scalded. Does anyone else have these problems? any suggestions...
