Hemochromatosis and gastro problems
Watch this 
View More Posts
I just got diagnosed with HH but have experienced exhaustion for years and gastro problems. My life is wrecked due to my problems; has anyone else had gastro problems and with treatment HH found the abdominal pain subsided? Life has gotten to be a too much work with my discomfort. Not to sound morbid but welcome to my world.

" Hey CBMaq,
I also had coloscopy that was clear. The reason for the gastro problems is due to the ironoverload. After had several phlebotomies my gastro problems took care of itsself; thank God!! The liver pain is also gone most of the time!! I do still have other issues like fatigue but I am much better!!!! "
