Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 , I also have anemia (a form of iron deficiency) and I have to take an iron supplement daily. You can make up some of the iron by eating liver and liverworst as they are rich with iron (personally I can't stand liver - Yuck. I'll stick to the supplement). However, I'm not sure how liver would affect the pancreas, so you'll have to try it to find out. My mom used to have anemia and that's how she got over it was to eat lots of liver. As for other iron rich foods, I haven't a clue. If you find any, let me know too. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Judy, thanks for the info on what foods carry a lot of iron.. I can eat nuts, but only on good days and only if I limit them to a half a handful at a time. I love nuts. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hello , I have had problems with low iron and low ferritin (iron storage) for years. I also do not eat red meat, but you can increase your iron intake, eating dark green vegs and beans. Iron pills did not work for me due digestive troubles. I had to use IV iron infusion and shots. It was a little bit painful but worked very well. All the best, Liane you wrote: Hi All, Hope everyone is well....Quick question...doctor just informed me that I am iron deficient and has prescribed 300mg of an iron suppliment. Just wondering if any of you have this problem. I am assuming that it is because I am unable to eat red meat. Does anyone have any ideas where I can make up for iron in my diet?? Thanks in advance for your help!! Warmest wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
