Uncooked shellfish +: For each type of hemochromatosis (there are at least 3 types!), avoid uncooked fish shellfish from the ocean because you risk becoming ill (even fatally ill) from vibrio vulnificans, a marine bacterium. Alcohol is also a no no - your liver needs to stay as strong as possible. Of course no medicines or supplements with iron, and no excess of vitamin c, which promotes iron absorption.

Just get treated: Once the phlebotomies have begun, you have my permission to eat what you wish.
