Hi,
Does anyone know how they can test Iron level in the tissues?
My ferritin was sort of on the high side (216) and eventhough one of my doctors thinks it's just a result of gut
infection (such as SIBO)which is causing inflammation, I talked to another practitioner who thinks I might have Iron over-load in the tissues, particularly pancreas and liver.
So I am wondering, how can one test for iron overload in the tissues?
Thanks so much,
