Thanks! I would appreciate the info. We need all the help we can get! We are
having as much trouble with doctors and referals to specialists as we did
getting a positive diagnosis. My son finally got in to see a GI specialist,
five months after he was first diagnosed. He is to start the 'blood letting'
this week. They plan to take one pint a week "until he can't take it anymore"
then reduce it to once every two weeks and so forth until the iron overload is
somewhat controlled. He has stopped taking vitamin C and multi vitamins.
Thanks for your help!!

Trudy, somewhere I have some information on that subject. I will look for it
and get back to you. About the iron overload, Did your doctors suggest having
blood taken from him on a monthly basis for a while? It is important that your
son does not take vitamins with iron in them or to much vitamin C as this
vitamin causes iron absorbtion.
