So it turns out I'm anemic - I've been anemic during pregnancies, guess now it's because I've cut out so many iron containing foods, also had a good bit of bleeding after my surgery, who knows why else, but the POINT is that adding iron in my diet is my first step, but I want to stay safe if possible too. I know red meat has a lot of iron but it is a no-no. Cooked spinach maybe? Also, raisins have iron right? I eat those every day in my oatmeal, but yet still my iron is low, so go figure. I'm also trying to eat cashews when I can, they are supposed to have high iron. Still, it's not enough it seems. My Dr says I should take an iron supplement along with Vitamin C because it helps with the absorption of iron. I've read here that both can cause upset! I don't want that! Any suggestions? I'm prone to C and when I had to take iron while pregnant it C'd me up BADLY, so that's one of my concerns. Thanks!
