FlareFirefly+FollowIron Deficiency on a Gluten-Free Diet? Yep, It Happens!Even with a super clean, gluten-free routine, it’s surprisingly easy to miss out on key nutrients like iron. Leafy greens and beans are solid, but sometimes absorption just doesn’t keep up, especially if you’re also dealing with gut issues. Supplements can help, but they’re not a quick fix. Nutrient tracking apps can be useful for spotting gaps before they become a problem. Anyone else ever get blindsided by a low iron test? #FoodKnowledge #GlutenFreeLiving #IronDeficiency #Food30Share

Frank Christensen+FollowIron Deficiency in Pregnancy = Heart Risk?Just learned that if a mom has anaemia (often from low iron) in the first 100 days of pregnancy, her baby’s risk of congenital heart disease jumps by 47%!
