Also-- if you actively culture pseudo, don't take iron infusions! While it would help the anemia immensely, it can send the pseudo out of control (it's a bug that eats iron).</end quote></div>
What do you mean by 'iron infusions'??? Is this just taking an oral iron supplement?
Anemia runs in my family to an extent and i have always suffered from it on and off, to fix it, my doctor prescribes 3 months of iron tablets (ferro-gradumet one a day) and after three months i'm always fine again - however i'm concerned if this could be sending my pseudo's nuts!!???
When i discovered i was aneamic most recently i did some research as I eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables and red meat these days so i was surprised to hear i was aneamic - it turns out that co-trimoxazole (also known as DS Bactrim) taken too often can cause iron deficiency aneamia...and as i'd just been on it for three weeks and am on it about 4 times a year, i now expect to have to take iron constantly. Really concerned about it's link to pseudo so if somebody could explain this to me more I'd be very appreciative.
