Hemachromatosis...
Hubby has high iron...its affecting his liver enzymes, and possibly more. Finally dr ordering a hematologist to test further. He had lots of blood work done this past week, we wait on results. Hoping its hereditary, and will require large blood draws, and nothing more serious. I looked up diet with people that have this disorder and I understand they absorb abnormal amounts of iron from certain foods. Non heme, and heme foods...if anyone knows about this, please talk to me and share your insights.

Anyone have success following a diet for Hemochromatosis? My doctor says I can eat anything? Very odd? My ferritin number when diagnosed was 363 and now around 100. I wasn’t diagnosed until my late 70’s and other doctors say that is really unusual.
