I didn't realize that my daily Qnol Turmeric was impacting my iron absorption. Turmeric has a wide variety of benefits, but it can sequester the iron in your colon reducing the amount absorbed. Paired with the bleeding ulcer likely prompted by 800 mg of ibuprofen at bedtime for 30 years, I was losing ground.

I have a good ox bile in capsules. The problem is I can't swallow them. I have to open the capsules, dump the contents in my mouth and wash it down. Ox bile has a very foul taste. I'm not looking forward to that being my "sentence" for the balance of my lifetime. That said, I'm taking TUDCA twice daily to attempt to dissolve the existing stones and sludge. There is sufficient blockage to elicit itching and swelling of my liver and itching in lower limbs and shoulders. I would really like to resolve that soon.

Back to the topic of the thread, it is possible to reverse iron deficiency anemia by arresting the cause of the blood loss, eliminating intake the subverts iron absorption and getting a good heme-based iron supplement. It is also important to consume your iron intake away from calcium as they compete for the same input channels.

Thanks for the Jarrow Bile Acid Factors recommendation. I'll order a bottle on my next pass in Amazon. Jarrow is a pretty high quality supplier.

May I ask what you were addressing with such large quantities of ibuprofen every day? That’s a massive amount, and ibuprofen on its own can cause ulcers.

Do note that fat is required to pump gall out, so eating low fat means your gall never turns over, which means it eventually hardens.
