Ok , I read the Post about being tired. Do you take Forvia Vitamins by any chance.??
My son was taking those Vitamins for a few months,,and was soooo tired he couldn't stand it.
He thought he was anemic, and asked his regular doctor for a blood test to check.
Well, the doctor, NOT his Gastro doctor, but just his regular Family doc,,,had them check his Iron level.
IT WAS WAY WAY HIGH!! It seems that you can get way to much iron and it can be fatal!! Look it up.
The doctor told him to get OFF the Forvia, it has 170% daily allowance. Too much...and He made my son
go and get blood removed and donate it. AND to quit eating anything with iron..Gradually his strength came
back and he is feeling his old self again. Removing a pint of blood, made him produce more blood with out that
iron overdose,, So, if anyone is taking those Forvia vitamins,,with all that extra iron, and you feel totally tijred,
You might want to check your iron levels... My son's is now normal and if takes any Vitamins, he'll be sure to check
that it has no iron in it. He is 43 years old. He has Ulcerative Colitis, and I know this is a Crohn's board. My niece
has Crohn's so I check this Forum out sometime.
