My reports came and hb is a bit low, doctor wasnt too happy about it. I feel tired and dizzy off and on these days. Apart from what doc gives, which iron rich foods actually worked for you ladies to bring it up?
Iron rich foods like dates, jaggery, spinach, beetroot and dal helped me. Take your iron tablets that the doctor gives without skipping. And have it with vitamin C like lemon so it absorbs better.
My gynac said pair iron foods with vitamin C and avoid taking iron with tea or calcium as it blocks absorption. She also said to keep checking hb in reports. Diet plus the prescribed supplement worked for me.
My hb was always on the lower side so I cant claim one fix works for all. What helped me was sticking to the iron supplements my doctor prescribed plus green leafy veg. Please go by your reports and her advice na.
Haan, gud aur chana saved me, my mom made gur ke laddoo with til. Palak and beetroot also help na. But take the iron tablet regularly, ghar ka khaana alone may not be enough.
