Question: I'm a crohn's patient who needs iron
Problem is I can
Answers:
I have Crohn's and have the same problem with iron supplements!. Some brands make me poo too much and some brands stop me from pooing all together! Not being able to tolerate iron supplements is very common in Crohn's sufferers!.

For me, iron infusions are by far the best way to get a good dose of iron!. Because it's administered through an IV, it goes straight into the bloodline !.!.!. unlike supplements which have to go through the digestive tract and cause all sorts of issues with the stomach!.

Do you see a gastroenterologist!? It shouldn't be a problem getting you onto an iron infusion!. Your blood tests will show you lack iron and because you can't tolerate supplements, you should be the perfect candidate for an infusion!. Speak to your specialist about this option!.

Iron infusions are very safe and very simple!. I go to my local hospital for mine !.!.!. I usually get one or two per year and they are very beneficial!. You sit in a comfy chair at the hospital for approx 2-3 hours while the iron drips slowly into your system!. You have a nurse checking up on you now and then to make sure there are no reactions!. You will walk out of the hospital feeling completely fine!. I would highly recommend this procedure, it certainly does me the world of good and means I don't have to take supplements and put up with the after affects!.

But yeah, speak to your specialist and you should be able to get one done in a matter of a week or two!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take iron transfusions once a week at my local hospital!. If you can not take the iron orally they can do it IV and most GI doctors or Hematologists are willing to do this if you can't tolerate it orally for any reason!. It never hurts to ask!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
