Maybe OP works for Kellogg's. This is an elaborate scheme to sell more Cheerios.... because I just put them on my grocery list...0

I don't need to taste them, I eat meat to counteract my severe iron deficiency.
I'm not 23. I'm 21. I never said I was 23. And yes I was living at college (I did for a couple years) but the iron deficiency got too bad and I had to come home. I've been out of school for an entire year cause of it.
Your profile says you're 23... in case you were wondering where she got that number.
Well it's wrong. I never put my real birthday online. I'm 21.
You put your correct age on your other profile.

Ahhh Lampchop ... also high in iron! :laugh:
You know what? ENOUGH.
Suck it up, buttercup. You are going to HAVE to do something you don't liiiiiike or don't waaaaannaaaaaa. Quit your whining and do what has to be done. You aren't going through chemo or suffering from some really debilitating disease. You just have anemia. You can't just slug around your parents' house forever, you have to get up and get a job and work until you can go back to school.
Can't swallow the pill? Then it's either liquid or injection. Boo hoo you "heard" some things about those, if it was really a concern, you'd learn to swallow the pill. You don't have a choice, here. You MUST choose one of the options that will get you up and moving and functioning as an adult. Enriched cereal is fine for mild anemia, but if you only had mild anemia you bet you could hold down a job, FFS.
This is not about what you "want" or what you "like." You don't have the luxury of being "picky" or "skeered of a pill." Eat the clams. IDGAF if you don't like them. Eat beef. Your so-called "food poisoning" fear doesn't even make sense...almost nobody gets food poisoning from steak. Take a supplement. If you are that skittish about injections and unwilling to take the liquid, you'll swallow the pill. You have to pick one of those three.
Welcome to adulthood. You have to do things that aren't 100% sunshine and roses. 20+ pages of whining about nothing has worked my last nerve. No wonder your mother has had it. Bet she's regretting letting your get away with being a "picky eater" as a child, ugh.
I love you. Marry me plz.0 -

Would you be able to take it then? You'd force yourself right?
Well, if you truly want some kind of normal life, you are going to have to grit your teeth and do it. Just doooo it
Hmm I dunno. Assuming she has mental issues, this could be like asking a depressed person why do they not just snap out of it.
More like asking a depressed person why they don't just grit their teeth and go to therapy and/or get a rx for ADs. And depending on the person, asking for help can be a difficult thing to do, it can feel awkward to go for help, etc. It was awkward for me because I didn't want to have to involve my parents into my personal life but I HAD to because I'm still on their health care plan.
But I've done both, so...... if OP has a mental disorder then she can also buck up and take anti-anxiety/AD medication along with some iron supplements.0 -

My son has a sensory processing disorder, and really struggles with tastes and textures. He eats no meat, few veggies/fruit. Very little iron rich food.
His pediatrician has him on flintstones brand chewable vitamins. He doesnt love them, but he dutifully takes one every single day. He drinks a beverage with it, chews it slowly to make sure there are no "chunks", and swallows it.
He is 6 years old. And yet some how he gets the concept that he must take this supplement in order to grow and be a healthy kid. And eating these fruity/chalky vitamins is not a treat for him. He does it because the doctor said he must.
Edited to add- my son has perfect iron levels.
My daughter has issues as well. She's 20, though. She takes a chewable vitamin. She also got shots when needed and swallows pills when necessary.
She's terrified of vomiting. The one time we had the flu, I stayed awake all night with her, holding her hair back and telling her it was okay to let it go because she kept fighting her body's urge to throw up.
What you said, what I know of my daughter, what the OP said, what I've experienced of life... I add it all together and...
The OP is just trolling for attention. I don't believe a word she's saying. I'll allow that there might be one small kernel of truth somewhere, but it's been buried under a pack of lies.
Yup, I called this a few pages ago! Although it's been obvious for at least a dozen+ now.0 -

Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with obtaining iron through cereal. A lot of people have corrected anemia through Total cereal. So what that it's added to it and not there naturally? That's exactly how a supplement is. The iron is added to it and not there naturally. It doesn't mean anything.
Why don't you eat Total cereal then? Or buck up buttercup and eat some dang meat or take an iron supplement? You know what I don't like? Throwing up! You know what caused me to throw up? My prenatal vitamin! Guess what I did?! I took my dang vitamin for the sake my my baby and my health! It's time to woman up and stop complaining!
I also liked the idea another poster made....getting a mirena helped stop my heavy periods which greatly improved my iron.
Read the thread, it cause blindness or something. OR maybe that was in her old thread about Total cereal.0 -
So this is where everyone has been for the past several days......I have been missing out. Have we discovered the correct method to make regular Cheerios taste good?0

OP is a troll who fears eating anything except for Cheerios, hotdogs, broccoli, and some select meats. She's so iron deficient that she cannot breathe properly (it took her maaany posts and me telling her that inability to breathe is not a symptom of anemia before she said "oh yeah, that's waht I meant, I can't breathe as well"), cannot put on makeup, can barely make it to the kitchen, has dropped out of university and now lives at home with her mom, but she somehow has enough energy to eat 1700-2000 calories a day and spend hours on MFP. She's also lied about her age, her appointments with doctors, and has likely lied about her anemia and anxiety issues. And states a plethora of asinine food and medication fears.
Best guess is she's either a 15 year old girl with few friends or she's a fat old man with no friends.0 -

BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »If I eat red meat for 5 days straight, will it correct this? How much of it would I have to eat?
Holy balls *face palm* NO!!!!! Eating meat for 5 days in a row will not correct severe anemia! Your long term overall diet MUST change. This is not something that can be fixed in 5 days and stay fixed if you go back to eating like crap.0 -

Although that seems logical and I should prioritize my health, anxiety is illogical and doesn't work that way. If I were to be able to get the Flintstones down, I would freak out. I would pace the room and flail my hands and be trying desperately to get the taste out of my mouth. I'd probably freak out for 30 minutes to an hour and hopefully not stress so much that I'd throw it up. That's why I haven't taken the supplement.
See a dang therapist! Now! Get off the computer and make an appointment! Why are you still here? Go!0 -

Uh, like just eat the Honey Nut ones, duh! I like the plain ones though too.0 -
So, you're 23 and still living off your mom.
Woah hey. Now obviously living 'off' & living 'with' is not the same thing. But in defense of anyone still living at home, I lived with my parents until I was 27. Granted by then if I had to go the doctor I had my own insurance from my own big girl job, and was able save up the down payment on a condo. But at 21, even at 23 to an extent I still relied on them for some stuff. Like my car loan from the Bank of Mom (which has since been paid off). Not defending the OP. Just letting anyone who may have said, 'Hey I still live with my parent(s)' that it's okay.
And I know that this is off topic, but lets face it, it's way too late to worry about that.0 -

That works too!
The chocolate ones are pretty good, also. There are some other varieties, but I haven't tried them all. I should really expand my Chex palate.0 -

Wait a sec.....is the OP complaining about the Cheerios that mom buys? That makes me question the purpose of this whole thread. The OP is simply ungrateful0 -
I've only done the plain and honey nut because I eat gluten-free... and I don't think the other flavours are GFAlyssa_Is_LosingIt wrote: »Alyssa_Is_LosingIt wrote: »pepperpat64 wrote: »

I’m not getting an iron injection/infusion. I’ve heard terrible stories about those. I asked my doctor about those just out of curiosity and she said those are very rare and only done if absolutely necessary.

Have you also " heard " that anemia so severe that you can't get out of bed is normally life threatening from a certain point on ?
So, maybe you should indeed forget all about enriched cereal, drops, pills or supplements and just get ready for the event that puts all that misery to an end.
