Anemia

[danii27]

Has anyone ever suffered with Anemia on this diet. I'm on step 2 so I'm eating, all though this week I've not had as many iron rich foods like spinach etc just chicken.
I'm anaemic and normally multi vit with iron is fine but past two days I've been really short of breath and a bit weak! I've been to the chemist and got some stronger iron. (which will prob bung me up!) But just trying to work out if it's a normal thing that happens?

I'm anaemic and find it gets better when on the diet

Very strange, maybe it's just my body being a bit odd! I've been on plan 2 weeks as well I'm surprised maybe its something else causing it. If the stronger iron doesn't help I'll have to get down the Drs!

Try getting your b12 levels checked as if that's low all the iron in the world won't help.

Thanks for the tip! Don't think I've ever had that checked!

I agree with slim 2012 that it is best to go to your doctor and find out what is the cause of your anemia as there can be many different causes and then you can get the right treatment.
