Reply to "Chronic iron deficiency anemia post j-pouch"

marzMember

I also have iron deficiency. It was found one year post surgery 12 years ago--symptoms were extreme tiredness and white lips! A blood test soon revealed anemia.At that time I had to get transfusions. (Just once)

I am now getting ferraheme IV infusions, which work very well. I have gone from getting them twice a year to once a year. I started taking forvia chewable vitamins 3 years ago, and I think it has made a difference. The vitamins are made for people with absorption problems. Thanks to this j-pouch site for mentioning the vitamins! The website for the vitamins is inovera.com

Iron tablets were not being absorbed and also caused severe cramps.
