Excess iron can cause GIT symptoms like your brother is suffering from. First we have to treat the actual source for this overload. Is he suffering from any other disease? Or has he been transfused blood recently? He will be needing chelating agents for the symptoms to stop. Kindly consult with me and give all the details so that i can prescribe the agent required best for your brother
