Thanks Judy, I read the article.. I went out and brough my iron supplements , the dr. wants me to take it with vitamin C. I guess the supplements deplete the body of C. who knows! I will get my nerve up and go for the colonoscopy it may take me a mt or two. I have to phycic myself up..lol
Btw I was anemic as a child too I really don't remember much but getting B12 shots. I was a skinny thing. But that passed... |

Gina, don't worry....there are many innocent causes of anemia. But, it's still a good idea to have the colonsocopy. If you don't already have a Dr to do that, I have an excellent GI in East Brunswick, if that's close for you. He has taken care of my mom, my 2 sisters and me for many years. I love him! Let me know if you want his name.

Gina, sometimes a vitamin will work better with another vitamin, otherwise your body might not absorb it well.
I've never been amenic but I like spinach and we have it frequently. It has a lot of iron in it. Get some fresh and put it in a salad. I like the canned spinach heated up with a little bit of vinegar in it! Put a little spinach on your sandwich, like lettuce. Here's some other vegetables that might help you. Also, red meat and beef liver is good for iron. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/...reatments.html

Gina, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. It does sound like you have a very good Dr. to want to rule things out with tests...that's a good thing. I don't know much about anemia except for my mother and we just don't know what is causing hers yet.
