Haemochromatosis is a hereditary disease affecting about 1 in 300 of the general population and is unlikely to affect anyone except those genetically predisposed. This information from a discussion with my doctor some time ago when I was advised by a relative to be tested.
Anyone concerned about this should research it further rather than take statements such as this at face value.

I have a cousin with HC and that is why I was tested in case there was a hereditary link in my case, fortunately I was cleared. No doubt you've discussed this factor with your doctor in case it affects other members of your extended family. Whilst waiting for the test results he did discuss with me causes, treatments etc, mainly to allay any concerns I had.
The bald statement that "iron cookware causes HC" is alarmist and implies that everyone should avoid iron cookware (or take the precautions you suggest) otherwise they could end up with HC as a result. Iron in the diet comes from many sources not just iron cookware and some iron is essential if one is to avoid anaemia.
Whilst avoiding iron cookware is part of the management of this disease it's a "non sequitur" to reverse the logic to suggest that iron cookware will cause it, especially in the general population.
That said, I can sympathise with your situation as I do have other ongoing health issues that require constant management.

When my family (and me) were tested for HC the doctor did say that those with Irish background were more prone to HC than other people.
One in my family was diagnosed positive, all others negative.
