ojibway 203 Posted January 17, 2017 Help! I have had to have a couple of Iron Infusions a month or so ago, The doctor and nut want me to take Iron supplements again. I tried Gentlesorb (GNC) for the first week it was going ok, taking them every other day to get used to them. But then I started to have the same stomach issues. Pain and nausea. I've tried at least 18 different brands of Iron and now trying a chewable version I received from the Bariatric Pal Store. If cannot get enough Iron in my system it looks like I'll have more infusions. I eat plenty of foods with Iron in them, but I just can't get enough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ojibway 203 Posted January 17, 2017 Do you eat black Beans? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App yes I do, I eat Beans, Kale chips, Spinach and red meats, I've always had anemia but since the surgery it got worse. My hemoglobin was down to 25, after the infusions it was 52. I couldn't tell the difference in how I felt.. I felt fine with low count, I was usually at 35.

Soaking 'em, fussing over 'em, the works. M mmmm good. In my bean research I discovered that black beans have a high RDA of Iron than other types of beans, 25% vs 15%. Would this help?
