15.01.2022 This important research from the UK published this week reinforces the vital importance of early detection of C282Y homozygous haemochromatosis and treatment to prevent harm. The study is based on historical data we need to change the future so no one suffers harm from haemochromatosis. We already have simple tests and simple, effective treatment. Let’s get it done! #haemochromatosis

02.01.2022 Did you Know? Surprisingly, diet is not an effective method to control iron overload from haemochromatosis. Many people assume they need to give up red meat or even green vegetables but this is not effective. The only effective means of treating haemochromatosis is venesection. We recommend a normal, healthy diet. Avoid iron or vitamin C supplements (but don’t give up fruit or juice) and moderate alcohol intake. So enjoy your food, eat sensibly and control your iron with venesections if necessary. Dietitians Australia have further information https://dietitiansaustralia.org.au//things-to-consider-wi/
