Anemia

[teri88]

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.

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.
