Iron Deficiency Anemia
"I was anemic for years, and thought it was just the way I was.  I had no idea that the soda I was drinking was stopping my body from absorbing iron (and calcium).  One night, my heart rate didn&#039;t slow down.  I woke my husband and we went to the hospital.  I found that my anemia was so bad that my red blood cells couldn&#039;t get enough oxygen to my body, and my heart was racing trying to get more Oxygen delivered.  The doctors said my heart would have just given up had I not come in.



I found &quot;normal&quot; iron pills gave me horrible, painful gas.  Slow FE was the only iron that didn&#039;t. It&#039;s made differently than iron pills and your body is able to break it down without the difficult side effects, but it can cause constipation.  I eat 3 prunes a day."
