My doctor just called my iron levels are extremely low once again. I give up. They go up and they go down. He is putting me on a new supplement that I have to take 3 times a day. That will be interesting to see how well I remember to do that. Just when you think you are making headway and you find out that your not.
Iron deficiency anemia is very common with Celiac Disease. This is due to the small intestine not absorbing nutrition. Iron is essential for a healthy immune system and for energy production. Here are some tips for taking iron:
- Take Iron and Vitamin C together. The presence of vitamin C can increase iron’s absorption by as much as 30 percent.
- Avoid taking an antacid at the same time you take iron. Stomach acid is needed properly to absorb iron.
- Avoid using excessive amounts of zinc and vitamin E, which can interfere with iron absorption.
- Take vitamin A and B complex at the same time as iron. They are also needed for complete iron absorption.
Iron is also found in many foods, including eggs, meat, poultry, leafy green vegetables, and molasses.

This is one of my favorite products. This is something that my husband can actually prepare on his own that helps me out. It’s summer time and I love to grill everyday. I received this reply back from Grill Mates today on the Mesquite Marinade. This is great to know about McCormick products. Now I can try more of their marinades and rubs without fear.
“The Grill Mates Mesquite Marinade is Gluten free.
We recognize that gluten is the common name for proteins in specific cereal grains that are harmful to persons with Celiac Disease. These proteins are found in all forms of wheat (including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn, and faro), and related grains, rye, barley, and tritcale. When gluten or wheat is present as an ingredient, McCormick will declare it in the ingredient statement. Since the late 1990’s, McCormick has used “Plain English” allergen labeling to communicate our product ingredients to our consumers. Gluten is listed as “wheat” in our ingredient statements.
This labeling policy adheres to the FDA regulations that were implemented as of January 1, 2006. If a product does not have an ingredient statement, it is a pure spice or herb with nothing added and contains no added glutens. In addition, the alcohol in all of our retail extracts is not from grain and is gluten free. Because we are constantly improving our products, we do not offer a list of our products that do not currently contain glutens. We encourage you to read the ingredient statement on your package at the time of purchase to ensure accurate, up to date information. “

I had to get out of bed this morning just so that I could go to the dentist and get tortured today. It’s 8 hours later and still have a sore mouth. So I experimented a little. Before I was gluten free I used to love to go to the local pancake house in the fall time and have Pumpkin Pancakes with fresh maple syrup. These are pretty close and when served with freshly made maple syrup how can you go wrong.
