Guest guest Posted April 10, 1999 Report Share Posted April 10, 1999 Tina, The best thing you can do is to get more iron in your diet, but you can also take supplements. I don't advise just doing this on your own, though, because too much iron can be critical also. If I were you I would discuss this with my doctor and see how he recommends you do it, with him keeping an eye on you, of course. I believe the easiest kind of iron for the body to assimilate is called " Heme " iron. This is the kind found in red meat. Since a lot of people are not eating much red meat anymore, they need to find other sources of this mineral. You also need some Vitamin C at the time you are eating your meal to help you get the iron that is in it. Supplements often cause stomach problems, so be prepared. I am sending another letter right after this with some important iron information that I copied . Anyone interested in this can look for it......those who are not can delete. It will be called " Iron Information " Hugs!, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
