Does anyone have a rec for a good at-home iron test? Suffering from anemia but also hoping to find some routine test to help me find the right balance in iron supplements. TIA.

Have you figured out why you're anemic? And the type of anemia?

Regarding your question, I don't have a specific recommendation. But curious how often you're looking to test? I don't know that there's a huge benefit to frequent testing at home. It can take weeks to months to replenish iron stores and see a noticeable increase in your hemoglobin, if you have iron deficiency anemia.

I am currently dealing with this too. I first had a colonoscopy and then a pill camera to confirm there is no bleeding in my GI tract. Next step is a hematologist appointment.

Go to https://www.ultalabtests.com/

You can order an iron test there for fairly reasonable.
