In the last week, I took a blood test again to see if my ferritin and iron levels are in the normal range. It turned out they were lower than when I took the test back in October 2013. The doctor told me that I have almost zero iron in the body which is not a big of a concern since many women nowadays are anemic. And all I have to do is to take iron pills… I can't trust his advice and I'm wondering if anyone knows good supplements that might help. I am on keto. diet for 4 years. Considering the amount of meat I’m eating, actually I'm surprised that my iron level is still low. At the same time, I have been anemic for most of my life and my condition has improved very much compared to how I used to faint and get tired from intense physical exercise, so this is not as bad as before. I took iron pills before but they made me throw up and I couldn't keep taking them. I wonder if there is anything I can do about this, aside from eating livers everyday...
