Avatar n tn I have changed my diet, staying away from the trigger foods and was recommended to eat protein filled foods, because I tend to always be hungry every 2 hours, partially because I eat small portions. I recently purchased brown rice protein, but noticed for its dose of 1 scoop (20g), it has 40% of Iron. Is it safe to continue to use the iron supplements once daily, vit C, and the brown rice protein?
Avatar m tn No salt, lower proteins that are hard to digest. Low iron, vit a and raw foods are hard to digest except certain fruits. The Liver Foundation website has loads of diet tips. I think cooked eggs/omelets and pasta are great choices. Just really watch the salt! No processed foods and hard cheeses have higher salt content. I'm a PBJ gal, so that's been my comfort food. NO alcohol or soda! A bicarbonate Pepcid/anti acid combo prescription pill taken each night helps too! Drink water!

Avatar f tn But I have read somewhere that fiber inhibits iron absorption and that best sources of heme iron are meats and poultry, foods which I had cut out of my diet because of the cholesterol issue. Any suggestions for how I can structure my diet to address both problems?
Avatar f tn The question to ask is (a) is there no absorbtion of iron of (b) is there simply diminished absorbtion. If there is diminished absorbtion adding a bit of high iron foods to the diet might do the trick. I would not take iron supplements without consulting my physician because there can be side effects from such a protocol. As Drnee stated, there a number of diagnostic tests available to pinpoint the cause. Often the condition can be treated.

Avatar f tn t want iron pills, constipation, so I will make a drastic change to my diet. Any foods you girls suggest? I love my greens and eat eggs often. What else can I eat to help?
Avatar f tn I took them with my last, they are not pleasant but they helped especially since eating iron rich foods were having no effect. I was still anemic at delivery but got lucky and didnt need a transplant since I was clotting on my own.
Avatar f tn Hi Sharron, I have thought of this for a few years because I used to juice greens until I came to this forum The body usually only processes 10% of the iron from these greens but people with hemochromatosis take in 30% of the iron from foods and their condition often leads to cirrhosis. I have searched for info about iron intake by natural food sources and have found nothing that requires us to eliminate these greens from our diet. I asked my Hepa as well and he was totally fine with salads.
Avatar f tn Women have a higher demand for iron then men due to monthly menstrual flow. There are 2 types of iron in our food sources, Heme iron and Non-Heme iron. Heme iron is from animal sources and Non-Heme is plant sources. Non-Heme iron has more iron then Heme iron , however, it does not absorbed well into our bodies so it is important to eat foods with Vitamin C and Heme iron foods to enhance absorption.
Avatar m tn Because you have an enlarged heart you have to be very strict with your diet. No processed foods, no lunch meat, no smoked meat, no hotdogs, no canned foods (full of salt). No eating out in restaurants especially fast food restaurants (full of salt and fat). Eat bread and potato without butter or margarine. If you eat organic vegetables, they taste a lot better and feel a lot better on the stomach and digestion. Blood pressure needs to stay down, along with cholesterol.
1629183 tn?1299616789 The best sources of iron are meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and iron-fortified foods (foods that have iron added) or dark leafy vegetables. If you don't eat enough of these daily, it can cause problems with not enough iron. Are you on any medication? Some can interfere with the absorption of iron. Also, some intestinal diseases can cause you not to absorb the needed amount of iron. The pediatric specialist should do testing to see what is causing your anemia.
8256587 tn?1399897506 Hi I have real problems with my diet. When I was a lot younger I would eat lots and never gain any weight but now I have no appetite at all and I just like to go for unhealthy foods. Sometimes I don't eat anything until 2pm and even then it's something small like a snack, which doesn't help a lot as I have been told I am iron deficient and my body mass index is 17.9. I'm 5 foot 3 inches tall and weigh 46 kilograms, does that seem thin? Should my doctor be aware of this?
Avatar m tn I haven't. You still need your folic acid, though. So if I were you I would get a bottle with just that. Think about your diet. Red meats have a lot of iron. Don't use cast iron cookware. Avoid vitamin c supplements. Avoid foods with iron supplementation, read the labels. Some foods inhibit iron absorption. The tannic acid in tea and coffee, fiber in cereals and nuts, and calcium in antacids all appear to inhibit the absorption of iron.
Avatar f tn m pregnant though, so I changed my diet and added some extra iron rich foods instead.
Avatar n tn told me just to eat iron rich foods an take iron pills...I have symptoms i dont know the symptoms of low ironan i cannot seem to shake off feeling so bad.HOW CONCERNED SHOULD I BE?Is my DR.telling me everything to help me>?or just just seemingly pushng me off?Can they do anything faster to help me?
Avatar n tn Some HCV patients will have iron storage problems; until you’re doctor performs an iron study, you might benefit from a no-iron multi like Centrum Silver.
