Too much iron in blood ?

[barbie-up]

Hi - a friend of mine has just had some pre TTC blood tests and they have come back showing she has too much iron. Apparently this has similar symptoms to not having enough.

She has been advised to cut back on red meat and ... I'm not sure what else.

Has anyone else heard of this? Apparently it is a gene thing that she may have inherited from her father ?? Can it be passed along again, or do both parents need to have it ?

PS: Not sure if I'm in the right area ??
