Hi, my partner has just been diagnosed as quite seriously anaemic and although some helpful guidance has been given by her Doctor I wondered if anyone has had experience of this and has found a way to introduce helpful foods into their diet. If so I would be grateful to know which food groups have proven most useful. She is not an unhealthy eater ( lots of veggies and a generally low fat/low refined sugar diet) although she does have an aversion to fruit ( although I have just bought a smoothy maker and intend to get fruit into her by stealth !!)

Be pleased to hear from anyone Thanks Soupy

oh soupy, i'm sorry to hear that. i suffer from chronic anemia so i understand how it feels.

two quick questions: does she have heart problem or high cholesterol? also is she a vegetarian?

In case you are not aware, we have an ongoing thread about anemia http://www.healthcastle.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=119

Thank You Annie, Had a look at the link you posted and it looks really helpful...XX

OOps ...Forgot...... No she is not veggie, doesn't have high cholesterol or heart trouble. The Doc was surprised that she wasn't vegetarian !

In fact she is not overweight, doesn't smoke or drink very much. Is very active ( and pretty !) and as I said before generally has a good sensible diet. Without being too specific she does have a bad time each month and her Doc thinks this be the cause of the problem.
I'm gonna take good care of her though and help her get sorted.

Thanks again x
