Iron deficiency anemia does not mean you have celiac disease; it is just one of the many symptoms associated with this disease and the one symptom I am focusing on today. <br> <br> <br> Iron deficient anemia is serious. According to <i>The Merck Manuel Home Health Handbook</i>, As the iron reserves are decreasing, the bone marrow gradually produces fewer red blood cells. When the reserves are depleted, the red blood cells are not only fewer in number but also abnormally small. Therefore, it is very important to replenish this depleted mineral with an iron supplement. <br> <br><br><br> <br> There is one more important issue to deal with regarding supplements and that issue is gluten! Not all supplements are gluten-free. No one wants to be living the gluten-free diet and be contaminated by their supplement unknowingly. Nutters are aware of the importance of gluten-free supplements. Allow their knowledgeable staff to help you choose from their various products to avoid any unnecessary mistakes. <br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> </td></tr> <tr> <img src="dancingbanner.jpg"> <td width=800 height=40 bgcolor="#C62A29"> <b>Nutter's Bulk & Natural Foods </b>107, 1601 Dunmore Road SE., Medicine Hat, AB T1A 1Z8 (403) 529-1664 <img src="transpacer.gif" height=20 width=20 ALIGN="absmiddle"> </td></tr> </html>
