I am very anemic and i wanted to ask what foods are good to get rid of anemia. Please help.?

Answer 1

Some thoughts: I have noted some of your past answers/questions and it would appear that anemic ("very") based on blood loss...........Correct.
As "Doctor J" points out..the treatment for anemia has to be based in it's causes, which are diverse.
Without stopping your blood loss, your dietary gains are likely to be negligible.
The nutrients that characteristically enhance red blood cell formation are protein, iron, folate and Vit B 12: In fact, if you are prescribed a medication to reduce the acidity in your stomach, this group of medications impedes the absorption of B-12( as does age). Green leafy vegetables are likely to be your best source but you couldn't eat enough to offset absorbtion problems: A sub-lingual liquid or tablet is likely to be your best bet.
Some excellent sources of Iron, as well are suggested. Calves liver is both an excellent source of Iron as well as protein but relatively high in cholesterol. Here to,you probably couldn't eat enough to off set loses with out an Iron supplement: Again, a contributor indicates some down side of it not to mention that Iron supplements, in males, are implicated in heart disease. Secondarily, the amounts required ( 325 mg. 3-4 times a day) contribute to stomach irritation, constipation and consequently, decreased appetite, further compromising significant intake of dietary forms of all these elements/substances.
Your best tact (if you can't stop the bleeding) is sit down with your physician and a nurtitioanlist and coordinate you medication options with your dietary needs.
Good luck...I hope that your bleeding problem can be controlled.

Answer 2

One doesn't get rid of anemia, one treats it and lives with it the rest of your life.
For some reason, your body isn't getting enough iron from your food or it can't process iron. You can focus on eating iron rich foods.
(Type "iron rich foods" into your search engine.)
However, your doctor will probably tell you to take an iron suppliment. (They are inexpensive, readily available and will do a good job of insuring that you get a minimum dose daily.)
Please note that iron can irritate the stomach, so look for one that is designed to dissolve in the intestines, such as "Slow Fe." Take it daily with food and be VERY SURE to check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other prescriptions or any kind of over the counter medication. Iron can interact with a number of other drugs. It tends to absorb or block other medications so you may have to take iron at night and your other meds in the morning.

Answer 3

Eating a well-balanced diet rich in iron and vitamins can help prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Red meat is the best source of iron, but other meats, including poultry and seafood, are good sources of iron as well. Besides meat, foods high in iron are:

Eggs
Cereals, breads, or pastas that are fortified with iron
Beans and nuts, including peanut butter, almonds, peas, lentils, and white, red, and baked beans
Dried fruits (for example, raisins, apricots, and peaches), prune juice
Vegetables such as spinach and other dark green, leafy vegetables
Iron-fortified infant formula and cereals
Take a vitamin with iron and mutli B.
Good Luck
