His iron was 5 when diagnosed, it was 8 after his iron transfusions, a few months later it went down to 5 again and thats when he started on FeraMax. The acne started after he was put on B12 and Calcium, that was in January. Since then his levels are now good so the B12 and Calcium was stopped. Probably has been about 1month since they were stopped. From...

Wifes checking right now.. Thanks Scott,,

Wow, thank you very much for all the information you have shared. It has been a pleasure chatting with you and hope we can talk again. Cant wait until my wife reads your information, have to sign off now, thanks and enjoy your weekend,,Jim.

Oh,, I didnt know it was a hereditary thing? How old were you when you found out you had it? How do you know you did? My son never said anything was wrong, but was always having naps. He is very active so we never thought anything about it. Before he went to the hospital he was having diareha lots so thats when we found out after blood work was done on him...

Yes he lives at home, he is high functioning as well. He is very strict about eating only gluten free. Has 2 jobs, a atv and a snowmachine. And is musically gifted on the keyboard. Your daughter has autism, does she have Celiac dease as well? Thanks for the great input above which i will show my wife as she is a nurse and can understand your words better...

Thanks,,, yes his level was 6.5 when he went in the hospital, it has gone up but they gave him a transfusion. The damage was done so it wont heal i assume. Hes good with the gluten free food, as a matter of fact he put on 20 well needed pounds. Every 3 months he goes for blood work. He is a real trooper with this situation, he handles it better than i would...

He is 28. Started eating gluten free as soon as he got home from the hospital and was put on Feramax 150,, he was also taking B12 and calcium pills for about 2 months after he got home in January from the hospital, but only now taking the iron pill once a day for the last month or so.

My son was diagnosed in January with Celiac disease. he has come along way since then as he is also autistic. My question is since he had a very low iron level he was put on a iron pill to take daily and since then he has broke out all over his back and neck with red acne pimples. He always had clean clear skin up till now. Any one else encounter this? Thanks...
