When/If you eat iron-rich foods make sure you pair it up with plenty of vitamin C (the two work well together) so your body can better absorb the iron.

Cereal and dried fruit are great sources of Iron. As are roasted pumpkin seeds, Dark Chocolate (real cocoa) and Hummus...

I take a raw food based multi with iron and it doesn't affect me.

I also eat a lot of lentils, chickpeas (or falafels), eggs, spinach, kale, almonds and mangoes.

Get your blood checked with yer Dr, get it checked for B12 too.

If your Iron is low, that's easy and not unpleasant to fix with a daily spoon of this stuff.

Ferrous Sulfate Elixir supplements, For Iron In Very Efficient Form - 16 Oz

That's sold in Amazon both usa and uk. It's much easier to absorb that pills and works like a charm.

What you are reporting _sounds_ as if it might be B12 deficiency, there are numerous causes and treatments for that. You have to know the cause first.

IF you are B12 deficient due to the inability to create intrinsic factor, don't waste time with under the tongue tabs, forget it. Get the monthly injection tout de suite. Once those cells are gone, they're gone and you need B12 immediately. No other way of getting it.

Blackstrap molasses, if you can find it.

this!

and fancy molasses works too - a bit higher in calories, a bit lower on the iron but it's still good. Growing up (w/o much $$) this is what my mom gave us for breakfast (w/toast) mm mmm

When I went to give blood my iron was too low, and the nurse at the donor center told me that one woman came in with low iron, downed a couple spoonfuls, and her iron level was WAY high the very next day! I'm going to try it next time I give.

Go see your doctor. They can do an actual blood test to find out. I was borderline anemic when I lost a lot of weight back in high school and I took an iron supplement once a day.
