Reply to "Prescription Iron Supplements"

I cannot maintain my iron levels, even after taking oral supplementation. As a result, my levels are monitored every few months and I get an iron infusion. That seems to be the only way to get my levels up. When I took the tablets, I was fortunate to not have any GI upset. I have also read that it is important to couple your iron tablets with vitamin C because it helps the iron get absorbed (sadly, even this did not work for me). I wonder why we have the iron deficiency? Not everyone with a J-pouch has this. For me I suspect it is a low-level Crohns disease.
