I just found out that I absorb too much iron, hemochromatosis, and need to find foods that have inhibitors.

Is it that you want all of those in a supplement? If you’re iron deficient, you can definitely find iron with vitamin C or complementary herbs, but it would be best to take the calcium separately at another time of day.

I’m not a doctor and don’t know about Gilbert’s syndrome but in terms of food, I would just reverse the information on this site. High phytic acid food (grains, beans) may be very good for him. On lifestyle and depending on his condition, find out from your doctor if donating blood is an option.

Would you have any suggestions on best foods to reduce his iron levels? Thanks.

I have had low iron in the past and I never realized that I could be combining items that would actually inhibit my iron absorption. Fortunately, my iron levels are fine now.

This is very informative – Thanks for linking up to Healthy 2Day Wednesday and come back next week to see if you were featured!

Because calcium inhibits iron absorption, if you take supplements it’s important not to take these two at the same time. I take my calcium with coffee and my iron at bedtime.

I have been trying to get my anemia controlled for years. I have Crohns. At one time I took inferon injections but the dr. don’t want to carry it for some reason. I took trinsicon for a while but my new dr. seems to think otc iron with C will do the trick. It has been over a year and my iron count has come up a bit. I think I will do more research on this subject. So thanks for the post, it has given me more options to explore.
