A member asked:

I have too much iron and am having to have therapeutic phlebotomy. what foods can i eat to avoid any more iron intake?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: It may not be "party line", but therapeutic phlebotomy for iron overload is so powerful and effective that to stop enjoying a beef-burger or your favorite iron-enriched breakfast cereal seems silly to me. And congratulations on getting diagnosed -- this pathologist has seen too many folks die from missed hemochromatosis. It is the easist deadly disease to manage.
