Hey! For anyone who was reading about the saga of my low iron...i got all the blood work back..
My whole blood panel was awesome, low cholestoral, blah blah blah...the iron was up in a week after taking low dose iron pills to 10.6 (from 8.4) and the dr. was amazed. ...

Do you cook with cast iron? If you don't I've found it's a good way to add iron to your diet without the side effects of the iron pills.
