Had my one year jabs done and my Iron is low. The supplements cause me to be horribly constipated. Anybody have any suggestions on how to boost iron a different way?

What multi Vitamin are you taking? Does it contain iron?

It does but only 140 mcg. Maybe I need a new Multivitamin?

Heres a thought. I have been using essential oils from Young living lately for a multitude if things.

I would never ingest any other oils besides young living.

My clinic strongly encourages Flinstones Complete chewables. I just looked at it has 18 mg of Iron. Not exactly sure how that compares to yours though. Didn't you clinic have any ideas other than supplements?

Im not sure if i mentioned this before but if i didnt i have been remise.

2 words- Savory oatmeal

Look up the recipes!!! Seriously its way healthy and a great quick meal you can cook at the beginning of the week. oatmeal is no longer just for Breakfast.

here is the one i have done twice and been very very hapy with

Irish steel cut oatmeal

onions

whole cut mushrooms

soy based bacon bits

olive oil

low sodium soy

sage

rosemary

garlic

salt to taste ( least bit possible)

pepper

Cook oatmeal seperate and use a butt load of onions and mushrooms saute the mess together and add to oatmeal as the last step.

You can cut up chicken fish or turkey into it. i like mine cold but you can work out the serving temp on your own

Look up other recipies they are wide and vast. next week im doing an asian oatmeal and following that a middle eastern one.

low cal, low fat,full of Fiber and filling..with chicken or fish you get the added protien

Peace out skinny people

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
