Getting iron up through Cheerios?

I have really low iron. My ferritin is 5 and my doctor wants to see it at least 50. It is making me extremely exhausted, causing hair loss, and I'm cold all the time. I can't take iron supplements. If I eat 2 servings of Cheerios a day (90% iron) will this bring my iron up? If Total cereal (100% iron) is recommended for anemia, then won't Cheerios work too? Or does Total cereal work cause people have 2-3 servings making it 200-300% iron?
