hi, im hoping you can help. i have low iron but high ferritin level(which is stored iron?) i am diabetic and low thyroid. my dr says i am anemic and should take ferrous sulfate to bring my iron up but wont that bring my ferritin level up too? my ferritin level is 201 and high normal is 160. i also was very acidic, but havent seemed to be so since i took colonix to detox my system. i havent actually checked with the strips yet, but my urine isnt so strong any more and my metal watches arent corroding. i read on a website somewhere that high ferritin is due to being diabetic. can you help me at all?
