    Apparently my iron and vitamin D levels are now normal. But my naughty cholesterol levels are too high. Prescription: fish. Oily fish. or fish oil.

      Just had my bloods done and everything is fine (sugar and cholesterol especially) but iron is a bit low.

      More spinach and legumes I guess (also GP sent a referral for an abdominal ulstrasound just in case)

        Maltopher iron pills are much nicer on the gut than Ferrograd if you try them. Spend the few bucks more on the Maltopher.

          I had to use Maltopher after cancer diagnosis - they were HORRIBLE! Extra spinach or other iron rations are FAR PREFERABLE. The weird shit they caused really freaked me out along with the explosive effects. Though I have to admit that might have been because my digestion was seriously compromised at the time.

        I’ve got an abdominal ultrasound too! They were booked up until the end of March, so I guess they are trendy at the moment

          Still unsure when mine is, referral only sent today. I had a gastro and colonoscopy last year, so not too concerned.
