You're acting like eating red meat is such a chore...like apparently everything else that might be good for your anemia.
And no. It won't "correct it", as anemia is not a one-cure condition. You'll have to continue eating red meat regularly. Have a tissue.
It's not a chore. I just have a fear of food poisoning and I get scared of red meat. I worded that wrong though. I meant like would I start feeling better?
So now you are afraid of red meat? But you have been asking about red meat.

Honestly, if your anemia is that bad, you should prioritize your health over your aversion to pills/supplements. A little discomfort from taking a pill seems like a small price to pay for improved health and well-being. If 13 pages of responses hasn't proven it already, there's not some magic remedy to your problem, and you're either going to have to eat a *kitten* load of Cheerios or suck it up and do something out of your comfort zone to correct the deficiency.
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.
This Can't Be Real
It is. People who don't have anxiety don't understand it.
Actually I have suffered from Anxiety. And I dealt with it. Like you should do and not make excuses.
I asked you a question, did you try and Google for iron rich foods?
I already have an appointment scheduled with a therapist who was recommended to me by my doctor. It's 2 months away. I've visited a couple therapists in the past who weren't any help. One of them said my anxiety was so bad, therapy wouldn't work for me. I can't go through this for 2 more months. My iron is too low and needs to get up now.
And yes I have googled iron rich foods. It doesn't tell me much. I need a diet of what to eat every day to achieve 200-250% and/or correct this anemia.
Let me guess... he said therapy ALONE wouldn't work for you, and recommended medication in addition to it.
And you refused.
It was a she. And no she didn't suggest medication. She just said my anxiety is so bad, the techniques she would help me with wouldn't work. She also had numerous bad reviews written on her. Some people said they were told the same thing.
So, being an adult, you saw that the first therapist was a QUACK, and found a new one, right? What did that one say?
The new one I haven't seen yet. The appointment is 2 months away but people don't believe me. Did you know it takes 3 months to get into an endocrinologist? Some specialists it takes time to see.
Where do you live?
I never want to move there.
I know some specialists do take a while to get in to see depending on how emergent your case is.
I had an unstable thyroid when I was referred to endocrinology. I was seen within a week.
My migraine specialist took three months for an appointment, though.
I can't imagine a therapist for a problem as severe as yours taking that long.
I've been to four... They don't. Especially since they don't require insurancemarissafit06 wrote: »mamapeach910 wrote: »BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »mamapeach910 wrote: »BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »skullshank wrote: »BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »AllOutof_Bubblegum wrote: »BlondeBeauty5 wrote: »If I eat red meat for 5 days straight, will it correct this?

It could also be an insurance issue. Sometimes it takes a while to be permitted to see a specialist. I also imagine that OP might be more honest online in an anonymous forum than talking to a doctor in person. So perhaps the severity of her case is unknown to the proper people.
I've been to four therapists. All insured. None took months to get into. You can also pick your own therapists so like... She could have picked another one when she was told it will take two months. Sounds like excuses to me. And seeing one for anxiety isn't a specialist either.
Fine I don't have an appointment scheduled. But my mom doesn't wanna pay the money for my inability to take a "fing cartoon." meaning the Flintstones. She says how she has to pay all this money just for me to do simple things.
I go to sleep and this is what happens. UGH!

Add bananas to a bowl of cereal. If you want the cheerios as a snack, mix them with raisins (any dried fruit you like), nuts, and make your own trail mix.
Spinach is high in iron. You could have salads and mix baby spinach in
I hope this helps.0 -

I haven't accused you of being a troll before in this thread, but I think I am jumping on that band wagon at this point... Since you refuse to acknowledge anything anyone says that isn't already in your own world view, and your blatant lies sprinkled throughout the conversation, I can't see how we can come to any other conclusion. Report me if you wish if that makes you feel any better.0

I swear on my life I'm 21.
I swear to God I have a severe iron deficiency.

Happy now? No you probably still won't believe me. But I don't care. I'm not gonna tolerate it anymore. Anyone who calls me a troll again is being reported to the moderator. I've had it!!!
I'll bite ... Do you wonder why people are calling you a troll?
- Why do you have two different profiles with basically the same name?
- Why did you lie about having an appointment in 2 months?
- Why do you continue to come up with reasons why none of the advice that has been giving will work?
There have been quite a few people that have been extremely sympathetic and have given advice but you continue to ignore it. Even your mom is sick of this, what makes you think strangers on the internet will be any different? Every single person that has replied to you has done or continue to do things that are not pleasant or enjoyable because it is for their well-being INCLUDING people that deal with anxiety and depression. They have decided to take control of their lives and do something about it - you on the other hand continue to ask ridiculous questions and ignore advice given. THAT is why you are being called a troll, it seems as though you say things with the purpose of annoying people.0 -

Fact of the matter is, you either are perfectly capable of job or school, OR you need to get injection/IV iron ASAP, likely for multiple doses.
If your iron deficiency is mild enough to be treated through diet, especially your finicky toddler tastes? You can get off your butt and go to school or work. You backed yourself into a corner with all these cereal threads. If cereal is enough to bring up your iron, then you aren't so darn sick, sweetie.
Multiple people on this thread have had anemia severe enough to make supplementation mandatory. None of us were bedridden with it. Your swooning around the house is nothing but drama.
honestly? I think your mother should make your staying in the house contingent on taking prescription supplements. Liquid, Pill, Injectable. Pick one. And, boo-hoo, you "heard" something bad about them. You don't have the luxury of fussing over the small print on the non-harmful side effect list. You need to get your act together so you get a job and earn some money to pay back any tuition costs your mom ate on you leaving school, and staying with your supplements so you can get back to school next semester.0 -
and so...this is why people keep their food diaries locked!!!!0

There were other lies she told.
There were far more many highly implausible things she said.
That, OP is why you are being called a troll.
The very fact that if your anemia were as bad as you are claiming, you'd be far too sick to post online for hours is enough to prove that something just does not add up in your story.
You grossly exaggerate everything you say AT THE VERY BEST. That's a very generous assessment of what's going on with you.
