10 Hemochromatosis Diet Foods
Hemochromatosis Diet Food #3: Fruits
Fruits are an important source of vitamin C that can help increase the absorption of iron. However, due to the presence of other valuable nutrients in fruits, it is still recommended that patients with hemochromatosis eat about two servings of fruit a day.
It is best that they do not eat fruit in combination with their other foods as it can prevent the vitamin C from helping in the absorption of iron. Patients should also avoid consuming dried fruit as it contains a relatively high amount of iron. This includes apple syrup.
