advice for treating iron-deficient anemia?

Question

i was just diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia, mostly due to a heavy menstrual cycle (which is being treated). Any suggestions for vegetarian iron-rich foods to eat? Also, is the supplement iron glycinate okay to use instead of ferrous sulfate? Anyone know the difference? any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Spinach.

Check the health food store. A few years ago we used something called Floradex or Flora something that had added iron. It was all natural veggies & herbs (spinach & I can't remember what else.)

It's harder to get a large enough supply of iron through just foods unless you are going to do the juicing.
