Struggling with dry skin versus having eczema is different. Dry skin is a symptom of eczema, but is not a cause. However, dry cracked skin allows irritants easier passage through the skin barrier.

Seeing your doctor is the best way to get the right diagnosis, but some things to keep in mind include;

- Eczema is typically seen in past family medical history
- Eczema is bumpy, scaly and may ooze, and
- Eczema commonly shows up in patches that are often raw from scratching.

While the most common symptoms of iron deficiency are fatigue and headaches, digestive problems can also be a symptom of low iron levels. This is because iron is difficult for your body to break down. So if your diet includes non-heme iron foods and supplements, your body is not absorbing all the iron you are ingesting. Also, the resulting excess iron can cause digestive problems like cramping.

Switch to heme iron foods and supplements for better iron absorption with low side effects.

Women are at a higher risk of developing iron deficiencies, since this is primarily caused by blood loss through menstruation. Additionally, iron needs may increase during pregnancy, if you live an active lifestyle, or struggle with another disorder that may affect iron absorption.

The Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for iron for women is 18mg per day. Something to consider is that iron is not a bio-available mineral, meaning your body has trouble breaking it down and utilizing it. Consider heme iron foods and supplements for a higher iron absorption rate.

Remember to speak to a specialist before adding any supplements to your diet. Maintaining healthy habits should always be the first step in preventing nutritional deficiencies.
