Question 5

what sort of diet should i follow with havin hematonacrosis?

Accepted Answer

Usually low in iron: People with hemochromatosis usually want a diet that is low in iron. A primary care doctor, a gastroenterologist, or a hepatologist can help one decide how much iron she can safely eat. Avoiding iron means avoiding red meat.
