Nutritional Advice for Thal Minors

<< < (13/18) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
Testing vitamin D should be included.

Now, you may be told levels are within range, but if B-12 or D are on the low end of normal, it's not good enough. Thals do much better when B-12 is near the high end of normal and with D levels above 40.

Hi Andy, I recently joined this group and thanks for you initiative.

Me (M38) and my son (M 11) both are Thal Minor,  I have few questions, I request your highlights.

While reading your post, i come to know that supplements are compulsory for Thal Minor, i would like to know before starting supplements/ medicine, should we go for blood test, if yes what are the test, secondly is there any specialist doctors who can deal better to thal patient.

I look forward for your advice please.

Regards -Harish Bhatt

Andy Battaglia:
No blood tests are needed, other than possibly getting the vitamin D levels checked. Testing for nutrients only shows the level in the blood. It does nothing to tell you what your body's actual needs are. The processes at work in thalassemia deplete nutrients. Replacing them is one fo the few things a thal minor can do to achieve better health.
