First confirm it with a doctor.  Green leafy veggies have a good amount of iron and so do many fortified cereals.

you can also buy a over the counter pill called ferro siquil ( I think that is how it is spelled) it comes in a small green box , just read the directions , if you take too many you can get constipated

Answer 9

I have been iron deficiant the past five years due to heavey menstral cycle.  To be sure you should gt ur doc and have a quick and painless blood test.  Symptoms include tiredness, diziness hairloss and a lot of other annyoying things.  I eat two steaks per week which are very high in iron.  In addition dark green leafy vegetables like spinach (yuck) or greans (yummy) are also VERY high in iron.  I would also reccomend taking iron supplememnets once per day but be sure to drink it with some vitamin C (OJ) or else it wont get obserobered into your system as well.  the iron supplements gave me constipation so be sure to eat things high in fiber like prunes or spinach to avaoid hemroids.  I would encourage you to manage this before it gets out of hand because if your anemia gets bad enough they may have to give you a blood transfusion, which trust me is very scary.....

GOOD LUCK!
