Suggest An Alternative Treatment For Iron Absorption Apart From Intravenous Iron Infusions
hemoglobin 66; ferritin 1 ... blood transfusion was given about 2 days ago, but was told this is only temporary to raise hemoglobin levels, but doesn t help the ferritin itself. For some reason, my body does not absorb iron at all. Severe allergic reactions to IV iron already tried. Basically, what have I missed? What else can I try?
