[QUOTE="Mr Nobody25, post: 2398211, member: 542756"] Over the years low ferritin has been a problem, typical of a coeliac. Recently with a bout of low iron, I took iron tablets and it swung the other way into iron toxicity. I commented to my doctor could this be haemochromatosis, impossible was the answer I got - you are not Irish. Ah well, interestingly 23&me showed that I was 5% Irish, rest Celtic, I am Welsh 95%! I have also done Ancestry and can show that my grandmother must have enjoyed herself with an Irishman and of course compound heterozygous haemochromatosis was unmasked. What relevance do these genes have to my iron problems. Perhaps it in simplistic terms a push pull situation, who knows! I am A rhesus negative as well if that has any bearing on my situation! All I know is that my very good local doctor has no time to get his around this one! Any comments most appreciated. [/QUOTE]
