You might want to take some slow release Vit C I use Quest timed release Vit C just before I go to bed.
Seems Vit C only helps absorb iron with meals and you should tolerate the slower release of the Vit C as well. I have high ferritin in the 400 range (though lower at 300 now, but still fighting infections, though now suspect some thyroid/adrenal problems, being low) but blood levels of iron down and no huffing and puffing like I used to or liver pain. Took a while for the doctor figures out the high iron was the problem (gluten intolerant people normally have low iron so he thought I might be loading iron) and change in diet and changing taking Vit C at bed time helped my joins and did not increase my iron. Still work to do with adrenals and thyroid, but having problems with proper testing of the adrenals as my low temperature to him is not consistent enough. In week it has only been just over 98 twice. Mostly in the 96 to 97 range. Getting a new thermometer and making a specific chart to show him that it is mostly on the low side and I have other symptoms relating to low thyroid (though the thyroid productions might be OK but not assimilated because of the low adrenals) but this is an upward problem to get the doctor to acknowledge that this might be a problem.

I have not shrunk either, in fact from dr.office height measurements I may have heightened by about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. > Have never taken high dose vit C because my bowel tolerance maxes out at 250 to 500 mg once a day. For the past two years I've taken virtually no vit C because it increases iron absorption, which I do not need, as I already donate blood to keep ferritin under control. > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
