they didnt give you a list of iron rich foods to try in addition to the supplements?...i know a lot of people who cant do the iron vits because it constipates them. You also need an adequate dose of Vit C because that helps absorbs the iron. I never heard of B12 complementing Iron...but Im not a professional.
nope they didnt. in fact my doc didnt even give me any supplements. she just told me to go get some otc iron supplements. didnt even give me a dosage or nothing. And you know what? It probably was Vitamin c that was said
, Im forever getting things mixed up. I have a bottle of that already that i havent started taking yet. they said its better to take the iron with food , but some people are different. I been changing my diet up too , so hopefully that helps. i mean, I been anemic my whole life and Im just now finding out about a month ago, and i really havent had anything bad happen because of it. i MIGHT start taking the iron. they said good iron rich foods are :
meats (especially liver...gross
)
seafood (shrimp/crabs!!! mmmmm
)
nuts
beans
green veggies (spinach , brocolli)
WHOLE grains (no "enriched" flour)
and some other crap i cant remember. Im eating a chicken breast as i type
