and I am pleased! The supplements, additional heme iron from meats, and removing dairy and eggs, and all those other "inhibitors" has served me well, it seems. The hemoglobin is up to 11.3 (remember, in May, it was at 7!) and the ferritin level has come from 1 to 22! This is all good news; however, the reticulocyte count is still low, so this is of some concern. But what a long way I have come! I am continuing on the 3x/day supplements for another week, and then am able to drop back to 2x/day for 3 weeks before my next lab work. I am; however, still off the "inhibitors", so expect to see many more dairy-egg-free recipes on the foods page.
Stay strong!
