My liquid iron from Germany! |
So the results are in and I am freakin' anemic. I have the worst case that my doc has ever seen! Awesome. Go big or go home....that's the way I roll. Oh goodness. At least that I know what is going on and it is a pretty easy fix...lots o' iron. Which by the way spinach it not a good source of. I know, I thought that it was too. Apparently it has calcium in it and calcium blocks the absorption of iron. Who knew. Vitamin C on the other had helps with the absorption of iron. So I am taking my special liquid iron from Germany with Orange Juice. As long as I don't go into labor tomorrow or have some sort of freak cooking accident I should be okay. Otherwise I will need a blood transfusion! Yikes! I told you it was bad.
