Nattybun's Journal, 20 December 2023

Nattybun. I too couldn’t absorb iron from foods etc. went completely gluten free for a few months now I can absorb iron from my foods. Found out I had celiac. 

I've been diagnosed with gastroparesis which means my stomach muscles are paralyzed and I have a slow stomach emptying. So I have strict eating plan. I can't eat : tomato sauces Gravy, sauces, spicy foods, salads, citrus fruits And juices, Chinese noodles, low fiber foods,, No wheat bread, almonds, apple juice, celery Limited pasta. My list goes on. My gastologist Said people with this disease can't tolerate iron and shape or form. So my 1st iron infusion was Friday December 22. I was sick for 2 days I hope I feel better. I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for all your support. Nattybun 

Well I pucked for 2 days after my iron infusion. Finally on CHRISTMAS I was feeling well enough to go to my neighbor house and had Christmas. I lost 2 lbs while I was sick. But back to normal activities on Tuesday. I'm sure hope this procedure will help me feel better. Thanks again for responding. Nattybun 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
