    Even the amount of iron in "women's" multis makes me throw up. Oral iron supplements were out of the question, as they wouldn't stay down.
    sorry hun I feel for ya but am on the iron tablets 120mg twice a day starting to feel a bit better but slow progress.... my iron count is 8.2 currently.

    wish there was another way xx tried the green leafy foods, vit c , no tea etc etc lots of useful advice but no good iron pills the way forward if you want to feel bettter.

    I see several people have suggested cast iron cookware. Love my cast iron!

    Also, if you buy REAL maple syrup (not the pancake syrups that are artificially-flavored corn syrup), it is high in iron. So what you need is BREAKFAST! Steak cooked in an iron skillet, pancakes with real maple syrup, and a big ol' glass of orange juice! That's the ticket!

    You know, I think I'm gonna try to get more iron in my diet... BREAKFAST HERE I COME!! :tongue:

    You're right that maple syrup has minerals, but it also has a lot of calories, so watch out.

    I know. All the best foods are SO BAD!!! :sad:
