Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I just heard back from Dr. Fuhrman (he wrote " Eat to Live " ), who dh and I went to see a couple of weeks ago. He got the results of my bloodwork back. He said I was very anemic, and that my vitamin D level was " dangerously low " . It's no wonder I have been basically non- functional for so long! I blamed it all on being pretty overweight (which was one reason we went to see him in the first place), but now I know that really isn't the whole picture, by any means. Dr. Fuhrman put me on supplements, but I have a question for you guys, which I didn't think to ask him. I still may e-mail him, but I'd like some " mommy feedback " , too. Does anyone know what might cause such low levels of iron and vitamin D in the body (besides monthly cycles and lack of sunshine--I know those)? And what would you do to increase the levels, aside from using dairy products (I can't), or getting out in the sunshine more (I'm trying). Other ideas? Cautions, comments, or ideas about using supplements? Next question--what can I use to top a baked potato, besides the obvious (butter and sour cream, etc.)? Must be vegan. Simple ideas, anyone? I think topped baked potatoes would make a great dinner, but I'm not quite sure what to put on them. Thanks! Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
