I went to the dr Monday & found out that my iron is low, 10.7 to be exact. My 1st thought was that I'd have to start taking iron pills & I do NOT want to do that. Instead the nurse gave me a list of foods to take to try to raise my iron levels. This list is TORTURE! I have no idea how I'm going to eat these things. But I guess if I don't want the stupid pills I'll have too.
not so bad
enriched whole grain cereal..ie raisin bran, shredded wheat
raisins
just kill me now
organ meats..ie liver, kidney parts, liver sausage, etc
lean meat..ie pork, veal, lamb, beef
dark green leafy veggies..ie greens & spinach
oysters
clams
dried apricots
dried beans..ie nay & pinto
eggs
The "just kill me now" list totally outweighs my "not so bad" list. I go back to the dr on Valentine's Day. I'm so hoping there is some improvement by then. Iron pills=constipation & who needs that?! NOT ME!!!
