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.
