Anemic, are there any iron loaded foods

Posted on 12/31/08, 04:13 pm

I was wondering if there were any type of foods other than red meat that I could eat that has a ton of iron in it and will not upset the stomach? Thanks!

  Quinoa is a grain that has about 9% iron which is pretty good for a food.

  Iron absorption will be greatly diminished whenever you consume anything that has caffeine in it like chocolate or cola drinks. But an iron supplement can be well absorbed if it has vitamin C with it. The C acutally helps absorption of the iron.

Stop the pain, excessive use and cost of medicines that can be replaced with food products and heal thyself with food by your own choices and research and consent of you md.
