Blackstrap molasses is very high in iron.

I bought Slow FE for my mother after her hip surgery. She gets stomach upsets really easily but was fine with this one. Someone had recommended another easy-to-take one, but the Slow FE was what I found quickly at the store.

get an iron infusion.

no dramas with pills or excerbation of symptoms.
2-6 hours with a drip of iron and you're good to go for about 6 months to a year.

works the best ive found!

Taking iron always scares me. I'm scared I'll end up taking too much. Apparently, overdosing on iron is worse than being anemic. I have an appointment with my doctor for this Thursday to get my iron level checked. I'm probably still anemic from last year's flare. Do you get your blood checked periodically to make sure you aren't taking too much iron? Or do you somehow know that you still need more iron? And if so, how?
