My iron deficiency is killing me day by day and I am so weak. I am vegan. Please tell me some foods/fruits and fluids enriched in iron that I can start eating. Also, is iron deficiency curable or I am gonna have to live with this for whole life. Is it true that iron pills are fake and dont help at all and make you sick? God Bless you
iron defiency is curable but it may take alot of time for it to be reversed.I have a book that says almost everything about all the vitamins and minerals we need.It says alot anyway for starters if your going to eat something with iron it helps to drink or eat something with vitamin C in it so it can help absorb all the iron possible.But do not overdue iron too much can kill you.Food sources include with iron are: Cream of wheat cereal,cooked,1 cup---10.9mg Lima Beans,fried3 oz--------5.3mg baked potato,with skin ----------2.7mg Broccoli,cooked,1cup-----------1.4mg turnip greens,cooked,1cup----------1.2mg Also if eating iron dont take an antacid it will reduce how much you absorb. Good luck.
I take Feosol iron tablets because of my low iron and they work great. They are not fake. raisens, nuts, endive, dark green veggies are usually high in iron.
