I'm not a vegetarian. I do drink filtered water, I think someone in another thread mentioned this could be bad because I don't get some minerals that way. (Tap water here tastes horrible, though, so I feel I must filter it.) I always make sure to take the copper supplement away from my multi, which has 15 mg zinc in it. Most supplements I take with breakfast, but I do the copper at lunch or dinner.
I will ask to test ceroluplasmin when I go to the doctor next month. Do you think I should also ask about ferritin, and other mineral tests? Should I hold off supplementing with more copper until after I get the results?
By the way, I really haven't experimented much as far as trying to treat the peeling lips. It's something I've been meaning to ask the doctor about but somehow we always run out of time before I can get to it. I read about the iron and B2 myself but didn't think it would be a good idea to supplement without checking to see if I'm deficient first. I've never tried allergy elimination. Is that the same as an elimination diet?
