6 years out and stopping in to say Hello
Rose - A couple of things in your posts jump out at me. First, I would find another hematologist. Don't ask them -- tell them you need to start infusions. Obviously you have some malabsorption issues so oral iron will probably do nothing for you. Also, I'm not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV) but I don't think Infusions and blood type have anything to do with each other. You're not looking for a transfusion but an infusion.
Exactly how much calcium are you taking? Devrom will do nothing for gas/pain. It is strictly an internal deoderant to help with the smell. Do you take a probiotic? How's your carb intake? I also follow Vitalady's regime but certain things I take alot more of because some my numbers are too low (D & calcium are two in particular). I also tweak them as needed -- for example my K was a little low the last round of labs so I've upped the amount and will reevaluate next time (due for new labs in November).

I'm not tanning, I don't take any probiotics don't even know what that is, and I listed what I take above. I also drink Protowhey protein mixed into plain coffee or water all day long and I sip water. In terms of carbs I am eating almost none and my sugar is always around 80.
