[Melly+2]

I think i may be aneimic again, as i was when io was pg, i feel so tired and ill 24/7, which is why i havnt been on here much, im thinking i am not getting all the nutrients i need from meet, do you think i should start eating a little meat to help this cause as suplements dont seem to be helping me, please help

Are you drinking loads of orange juice? Vitamin C really helps you absorb iron. You should also avoid caffeine if possible.

not drinking any caffine, mostly water, dont have the taste for coke any more

If it is anemia this is quite good, doesnt have any side effects unlike the tablets. ask you chemist or try boots or holland and barrets. it cost me less than £4 for 2 weeks worth from local chemist

I used to be a veggie and sterted eating meat a few years ago because i didnt feel healthy, i was struggling to concentrate at uni and hold down my p/t job- nobody thinks bad of you hun

what kind of supplements do you have? If u get something called ferrous sulphate that should bring ur levels back up where as just normal vitamin pills with iron don't work as well

Your ticker says you've got 3 days to do til testing... if this means prenancy testing do you think you might be pregnant and thats why you're feeling tired?

No1 will feel bad at you for eating meat.....

What about lentils? I know some people dont like them but the Annabel Karmel book says they are a really good source of iron (and dead cheap too!). You could put a load in some homemade veg soup? I felt like what you are describing when I was early pg so you never know - could be your lucky month!

iv no idea what that is but i hope you feel better soon

I haven't a clue either but I hope you get sorted and feel better soon

are you eating foods rich in iron? Suppliments always made me constipated
