<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This is in reference to Jane's (Conrad) post about lack of symptoms. I am wondering if anyone on the group knows about the effects of iron on the gut. Jane mentioned that she thought it was the cause of her diarrhea. I have been told by a few pharmacists that iron is constipating and I am wondering if I have been given wrong information. This is important in that Jane, I think, was wondering about her diagnosis being accurate and her diarrhea being due to iron intake. BTW, I was eating gluten pre-biopsy and I never got sick in the way I described a few posts back. I just got a headache. Now I get desperately ill if I take in even tiny amounts and I've only been on the diet for 3 months or so. Any info on the iron topic would be much appreciated and may help others with this diagnosis which seems to be so difficult to pin down. Lisa P
