Then why are you not taking the chewables and be done with the whole mess?0

If it's so easy to prevent the dental staining, I wouldn't have had 2 doctors and my orthodontist tell me not to take it. The 2 doctors recommended chewables. One said, "Trust me, you don't wanna take liquid iron." And my orthodontist told me, "Why would you want to take a supplement? Just eat foods rich in iron."
BUT YOU WON'T EAT THEM!
Do these doctors know about your issues with food?

That's not what the doctor said. She said to take Flintstones chewables.
So take flintstones chewables and go on your merry way? Why all this nonsense with cheerios?0 -

By which she only meant plain Cheerios. With sugar, but no milk.

That’s what you would think although I'd have to ask a nutritionist to be sure since there seems to be something specific about red meat. I believe that’s why I could breathe better that day and felt so much better the next couple of days. I ate such a large amount of it, it was probably equivalent to eating red meat. A teenager might have this issue but anemia results from years and years of having your period and not enough iron in the diet so a 13 year old would be a lot less likely to have this than an adult. You make a very good point! That does make sense, it’s just that I have severe anxiety so that’s why I struggle to just power through it.
If menstruation is causing your severe anemia, you might consider hormonal birth control.
I'm not taking birth control. Those have side effects way worse than any iron supplement. My periods aren't even heavy, they're moderate. I don't need birth control. I need to eat more iron rich foods.
If they're moderate, you can't blame menstruation.

So why aren't you taking them? Why are you asking about Cheerios?

Add more iron-rich foods to your diet AS A WHOLE and stop picking over minor things. Eat a spinach salad and steak for dinner. Have Broccoli and Hummus for a snack. Eat lots and lots of clams, mussels, and oysters (gram for gram, these are the foods richest in bioavailable iron) and instead of snacking on just dried cereal, add some pumpkin seeds and nuts, both of which are very rich in iron.
And, honestly, if you are so anemic that you can't stand up to get dressed? Your doctor should have prescribed you a supplement immediately. That's very extreme.
Yeah, I missed that. We are not being told the whole story here and it's pretty obvious that the OP either needs to go get real help or she is a minor. Either way she's not being honest here.
Seriously. There is something more going on. My kids are horrible picky eaters. I confess. Their father rubbed off on them. He's a picky eater too. Neither of them them have nutritional deficiencies. Let alone to this point.
OP has to have some SERIOUS issues to be so ill that she can't stand up.
I was also really picky growing up, no nutritional deficiencies.
So I'm guessing OP is under-eating, and could also be under-age since there seems to be a handful of responses here linking excessive pickiness with youth.
You're wrong on both accounts. I am an adult and I am not undereating as I said the first time.
If one more accusation about my age comes up or another accusation about me undereating, I am reporting you to the moderator.
I'm asking politely please do not bring either of these up again. I'm sick of hearing it and I'm sick of this abuse.
Are you underage?
NO I am not.
Are you undereating?
NO I am not.
Asked and answered.
Just for fun, what would you expect to happen?

That was so ironic I got scared for a moment. Like we hit some kind of max irony limit and the planet was about to implode.
I feel, reading this thread, like I may have entered an alternate dimension. Maybe one where irony has no meaning, and cheerios are the best possible source of iron...

Then your periods have nothing to do with anemia, contrary to what you claimed.0 -

I feel like I'm about two posts away from banging my head on my desk.

I really wish it was a troll thread. Then we could just sit back in awe at the near-perfect trolling and the world would make sense again. OP, please tell us you are trolling and save our collective sanity.
