Ferritin 11 iron 5 and can’t remember haemoglobin. I went to a GP to get those bloods, she was wonderful. Dr. Sarah Nunn from the butterfly clinic in Brisbane, Australia. Anyways she referred me to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy for my unexplainable low ferritin and iron. I don’t have heavy periods and have an iron rich diet. I’ve mostly seen people here say it was related to coeliac? Any other common causes like the nurse mentioned it could also be polyps or micro bleeding or in worst case cancer. What do you guys think is the most common? I’m going for my procedure (colon and endoscopy, also iron infusion) Friday and really can’t wait to get to the bottom of it.

Hey all! Now I am not a doctor or anything so not saying this is the right thing to do but just wanted to share my experience taking 10g creatine daily.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021… I think meds along with a pretty solid amount of tonic clonic seizures lead to me really struggling brain wise. Memory, word recall, just thinking straight in general.

I have now gotten to the right dosage of Lamotrigine sitting at 500mg daily. Basically, I started taking creatine about 4 months ago. I noticed a pretty fast change in my energy levels, but most importantly for me, my brain function. Honestly life changing. I still struggle with my brain - it’s certainly not where it used to be. But I can confidently say there was at least a 45% increase in function / just general feeling. Also has helped with moods / hormones - I feel less fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. I am very active so also helped there but yep, mostly mentally.

From what I’ve seen online there have been studies but only on rats? Not 100% sure. But yeah, just thought I’d share.
