Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Please do not put yourself on iron pills. The best health comes from eating your veggies, grains, beans, fruits, etc. Please incorporate all the foods we suggested into your diet. Don't forget to add some molasses to your cream of wheat, it has iron too. Quinoa is a great grain for energy. Like I need that LOL Donna We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop.

I hadn't realized quinoa, hemp nut seeds and veggie burgers had any iron. The way the sites that I found made it out that if you don't eat red meat you aren't getting iron. So I was concerned, though I knew this had to be somewhat misleading or all vegetarians would be on iron pills too. ~Tee - thelilacflower@ Vegetarian Group Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:32 PM Re: [vegetarian_ group] Iron rich foods I frozen chik patty by It's All Good has 30% iron and one of Amy's frozen quarter pound veg burger has 20%. Don't forget cream of wheat, hemp nut seeds 16%, beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, balance your foods, read labels, etc. My girlfriend was on iron shots and the doc had her eating liver 4 times a week. Nothing helped her iron count until she bacame vegetarian. Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " Tee " <teer2008 (AT) charter (DOT) net> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:36:20 <> [vegetarian_ group] Iron rich foods I was wondering what sources of iron are out there for vegetarians. I tend to run anemic and am one of those " cold " people as a result. I also tire very easily. The only results I found stressed red meat. I do like spinach and I know that's one, but what are some others? The vegetable sources of it seemed scarce. Thanks in advance. ~Tee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
