Take iron with vitamin CIt helps absorb the iron.
yeah what the nurse told you sounds right I also had to take a iron supplement ans I was take like 8 fiber pills because I wasn't able to go to the bathroom which is a symptom of pregnancyI was also taking folic acid and my prenatels so you should be fine keep up the good work and don't worry the nurses would never never tell you false info because that would be on their conscienceMy son was fine he was extra healthy thanks to the supplements.
The first answer is good but conditions can also affect iron absorption such as blood loss or haemorrhage and periods means there is iron lost in blood so there will be less to absorb, food intake ie iron rich foods like meat, spinach etc, and conditions affecting digestion or absorption such as IBS, which i suffer from, means my colon can contract and not absorb nutrients and minerals well when i am suffering from it and i was anaemic 6 months ago because i wasnt absorbing my iron well.
Definitely have your fish monger gut it, unless you want to do it yourselfA fish served whole has most definitely been guttedThe fish's inside are unappealing as food and even as stockSome cultures do have dishes calling for fish guts, but even those are unusualIf you can, have them scale it, tooSnapper scales are pretty large, and therefore easy to make sure you've gotten them all, but if the fish is good and fresh, they can be tougher to get off than some other fish, requiring multiple passes to get them allIf you like, asked for it dressed, meaning its fins, scales, guts, and gills have been removedYou won't be eating these parts and you can either eat around them or remove them yourself before cooking the fishIt may be useful to note that if you roast the fish dressed, there still may be pin bones in the flesh which you must avoidMany restaurants(including mine) choose to dress the fish, carefully fillet both sides only to the tail without removing the fillet entirely, remove the any offending pin bones from the fillets, and replace the fillets on the body, before roasting wholeThis prevents guests from having to avoid fish bones in their mealsAs for the roasting itself, there are many methodsA popular one is to stuff lemon slices, sprigs of fresh herbs(such as rosemary or thyme), and crushed garlic cloves into the fishes empty cavity(where the guts used to be) and roast it that wayRub the outside of the fish with olive oil, salt, pepper, perhaps some other herbs if you like, and roast at 500 degrees Ffor about 20-25 minutes until it's doneYou could also wrap it in banana leaves or callaloo along with seasonings, and roast it the same way for a different flavorMost importantly, you should work with it, respect the fish for what it is, namely, a thing of beauty, and above all, have fun!
