Foods with iron? Need help

smcox

I was extremely anemic while preggo, got a transfusion after birth. I'm 5 months pp and have been fine until this week. Feeling really dizzy and realized I'm not eating any red meat (eating healthy to lose weight and get in shape) I'm going to be getting iron pills but what else can I eat to help get iron naturally?

Do u have a juicer?

Math_Mommy

^^agree (dark leafy greens, beans and red meat). Also, watch your calcium intake because calcium inhibits iron absorption.

Oh yeah, forgot about the calcium thing. I don't eat red meat and I have a blender, is that the same? @bahamamama482i

A juicer is better it takes the skins off certain fruits/veggies.
I blend spinach, apple for sweetness and whatever else for a green juice.
yes watch calcium, most important cows milk.
