Sort of OT: Succotash, Stacee, low iron, and Peanut butter?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I've been wondering...and since you mentioned peanut butter for when you're

low on

iron...I donated blood last week and have been wiped- out, tired ever since.

thinking I'm

low on iron or something since my body is probably trying to make more red blood

cells.

 

Anyhow, peanut butter works for you? ANy other ideas? I'm thinking my

overwhelming

tiredness is due to the lack of fresh spinach in my diet lately. : (

Well, I take prenatal vitamins also (nope - not pregnant, just need

the iron), but peanut butter and pinto beans *seem* to help when I

feel like my iron is low. The vitamins I couldn't live w/o though!
