Severe anaemia

[Mrs R]

Just a warning to anyone who is suffering palpitations, exhaustion etc on this diet - I ignored my severe palpitations for ages. Turns out I have severe anaemia due to the diarrhoea I had for two weeks at the start of the diet, I can continue with the diet but have to take extra ferrous sulphate and vitamin C.

Poor Mrs R
now don't dig to much (or is taking these new pills given you a new lease of life?)

You will be rattlin' soon

Ooooooo Mrs R, that sounds like a bad experience, hope the pills do the trick and you get back to feeling well very soon.

[Mrs R]

I've suffered from anaemia for years - doesn't seem to make any difference whether I'm eating a meat or veggie diet either. It only takes one bout of diarrhoea and I'm down to 8.0 again!
Had to come off the diet for a week as I felt so rough but am back on it again now.
