I have been fighting anemia for over 6 months now...and even though I eat a diet high in iron, take daily iron supplements and receive monthly iron injections I have not seen any improvements. The iron level in my blood will increase to a normal level for the few days following the injections...but will quickly drop to a level way below normal. The result of course leaving me feeling "unenergized", (but this could also be a result of my sleep patterns), no appetite, dizzy spells or "light-headness", and deep bruises that appear between muscles...just to name a few.
My question is this ...Is there foods or factors that block iron absorption...or that will increase iron absorption? I have discussed this with my doctor...and have yet been able to receive a straight answer....or at least one that seems related.
Thanks for any help!!
