Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Thalassemia
Andy Battaglia:
Rice is good food and there is no reason thals should avoid rice. It is best if it is whole unrefined rice, as the bran contains IP6 which is a very good antioxidant and natural iron chelator.
You don't cook wheatgrass. If you grow it fresh, the young sprouted leaves are juiced and then the juice is drank. The juice tastes much ,ike grass, so most people use tabs or powder.

Andy Battaglia:
Any of the organic brands are suitable. One brand I have used and think is good can be seen at http://www.amazon.com/Green-Kamut-Organic-90-Powder/dp/B00028PUAU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386819261&sr=8-1&keywords=kamut+grass

Hi Andy,
Most of the wheatgrass or kamut also have iron. Ferritin of my son is about 500. I wonder whether kamut or wheat will affect to his ferritin or not?
Tks Andy.
Andy Battaglia:
One serving has 1% of the daily requirement for iron. This is quite low and absolutely not of concern.
