Iron's low: I guess that even if you have a family history of hereditary hemochromatosis (hh?), you're looking iron-deficient now and should seek an explanation. The next step will be to decide whether you're GI bleeding -- this is very important. I trust you haven't put yourself on an iron-restricted diet just because of your family history. Good luck and stay proactive.
