[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 153364, member: 15832"] My GI doctor informed me recently he is seeing inflammation in the stomach and gut, back in April when I was having all those issues my stomach was bloating out badly before all those other symptoms appeared. My labs over the years are seeing low iron, low potassium and low vitamin D, the question is which came first, the deficiencies do to poor diet or the stomach and gut problems do to another cause. I've had muscle spasms in legs going back years, went on TRT and it went to the next level. All these stomach and gut issues seem to resolve after supplementing iron, potassium and vitamin D. I'm hoping it's do to poor diet and lifestyle because these are more easily fixable. Now I just need to get iron in a range that doesn't give me problems, probably somewhere above 60 and no higher than 90, but 118 is a too much. It's seem whether iron or testosterone a little bit goes a long way. I'm thinking about 325mg M/W/F, ferritin M/W/F as well. I was told by my GP that ferritin is more easily absorb and with stomach and gut issues it's not hard to understand why ferritin works so well. On another note Total T is 97 ng/dL, Free T 3.15 ng/dL and SHBG 14. It would seem SHBG was higher on TRT, as high as 22 at times. My insulin is a little higher now, so it's not hard to understand why SHBG is lower. I'm still doing everyday stuff, riding bikes at the beach and enjoying life. I don't have the best energy, but ok. I still do get erections in the mornings, during the day as well, but not 100%. Still notice women and can't help but look. Ribs, collarbone and shoulders hurt when lying in my tempurpedic if I stay in the same position too long. [/QUOTE]
