- Hey Everyone, this here is my theory on how I reversed my low ferritin score. This is not health advice. Speak to your doctor or healthcare provider before making any drastic changes, and of course - do your own research.

Video Summary:
I believe that my ferritin stores have been low all my life because I have dealt with IBS / gut inflammation since I was a teenager.
When your gut is inflamed, it is very difficult for your body to absorb minerals, even when eating foods high in iron. (As a vegan I made a conscious effort to eat foods high in iron and supplemented as well)
In January I started a gut healing protocol that eliminated all gut irritating foods and focused on soft, easy to digest ground meats.
Eating this way for several months allowed my digestive tract to heal. Once my digestive tract was somewhat healed, I began absorbing my nutrients/iron better. During this time I ate red meat every day, sometimes twice a day.
The most important take-away is that in order to start absorbing nutrients, you must stop injuring your gut and you must lower the inflammation in your gut.
Things I avoided to heal my gut:
-coffee
-chocolate (dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate because there's more cacao in it) (cacao very high in oxalates)
-NUTS / SEEDS
- all grains
- all beans/legumes
-refined sugar
-high oxalate or lectin fruits and veg (potatoes, spinach, Swiss chard, kiwis, raspberries....this is not an exhaustive list. Please do your own research.)
(What are oxalates? see this video • Attack of the Oxalates... )
Things I ate a lot of:
-ground beef********
-ground chicken/turkey
-meat stock
-healthy jello
-fish
-avocado
I ate some of:
-apples (peeled) and cooked
-blueberries (if you have severe gut issues, avoid fruit with skin or seeds)
-coconut products
-cruciferous vegetables (cooked)
I also took a spore based probiotic, L-glutamine, collagen powder, acerola cherry powder (vitamin C)

Is anyone else who is iron deficient struggling with all over muscle fatigue/pain? At the end of the day I can barely walk.
Yes so true
same... back pain is killing me
Same, fatigue is immense

I'm going through a similar thing and was waiting for your next update!! Thank you!! I'm happy to know that you feel better and even if you didn't I would love the update! If you would want to do a "what I eat in a day" video I will be happy to watch!
Good to hear. You look so happy and as always, it's good to see and hear from you. Stay strong.
This video arrived to me just in time. I recently found out I am iron deficient. I've eaten everything throughout my life. After a few years of being vegetarian, my hair started falling out in bouts - nothing too extreme but significant enough to cause distress. I thought it was my thyroid, or just a strange case of chronic telogen effluvium, but I finally have my answer. Your healing diet makes a lot of sense and I think I will try the same. Saying bye to coffee, chocolate, and dairy for awhile will admittedly be hard but I can't wait to feel better and have my thick hair back. Thanks for the video!
I've recently found out that iron deficiency can also be copper deficiency. Copper helps remove fat people cells and pushes that fat into the bloodstream to b burned off. Copper can possibly reverse white hair and actually, if you take copper glycinate a few hours before iron, it increases iron absorption
Really love your videos like this when you talk about what you’re eating to heal your ailments. Thank you for these and your workouts of course ❤️
So happy for you! Thanks for the update!
I am so so so glad you unlocked a key to feeling better! You’re an inspiration to NOT GIVE UP on feeling good.
Very helpful, including info in description, thank you! Wishing you well in the new year and beyond ❤
Great news. What you are doing sounds good, a simple and gentle diet which I believe it should be. All the best.
Wow. I am happy that you are ok now. And you know, I have a similar problem with my iron level. Once in two-three years, my iron level is getting down. My iron level was 60 three years ago. It was so awful, I feel tired, weak, and depressed. My doctor prescribed a drug for my iron deficiency. It helped me a lot. I did a lot of research and asked doctors about this issue. Plants and animals are included in different iron. The valence of iron is 2 (II) in plants and 3(III) in animals. Humans are animals and we need to eat food containing 3(III) valence of iron. Red meat, liver are the best food with iron. Furthermore, I worked for the company which served blood testing, and analyzed a lot of macro/micronutrients in it and so on. You know, many-many women had a low level of iron.
It has been great to hear from you and to know you are doing fantastic with your health. I really hope you stay healthy and happy, thanks for sharing, take care ❤
Thank you David!! Hope you're doing well too
@@ChristineSalus vitamin d help the gut and gut flora too.
I saw your comment on YoSamdySam’s recent video and followed you here. Thanks for this! I’ve been wondering why my iron levels aren’t rising after 2 years of working on it and a sensitive stomach all my life. I’ll give this a go. Thank you!
Amazing! Best of luck to you :)
OMG thank you so much Christine. I have low ferratin iron reserves and have had cold chills for 5 years and cold hands even when exercising. I teach Pilates. I was eating dark chocolate, nuts, seeds etc. Now I know what to avoid thanks to you. Many blessings :)
Did you manage to get higher ferritin levels with her food plan? Like avoiding grains, nuts, chocolate etc
Glad you found something that worked for you! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on overcoming iron deficiency !! ♥️
YAAAAAY its so nice to hear good news bebe!! miss n luvs yewww
thanks lovey, miss you too. And I'm gonna send you your portrait next week, I promise! I actually just wanted to admire it a little bit longer before I sent it to you LOL. xoxo
Great info, thanks for sharing 🙌
That's nice your iron deficiency is gone in the way you needed to do it. I don't have digestive issues but this was nice to listen to regardless.
Thank you for this video. I have severe digestion problems - constipation and bloating and I have very low iron levels. I am gonna try out your advice.
Thank you so much, I have been told that healing the gut helped with so many things in your body. I have a low iron also even with pills was not working but I did not eat red meat for a long time due to my gallstones. I will try this.
Thank you so much! I needed this!!!
Hi Christin
Very good information 👌
Id like to ask you, if you had body pain while iron deficient? Like all over basically?
And if so how long did it take to see your body pains going away? I mean at what stage of treatment did you see improvement in that?
Cant argue with scientific data! When I eat nuts, my joints are a mess. I just realized this after watching your video. Thanks for the research and video!! Priceless! No more nuts, choco, coffee or legumes for me!
You have to soak nuts overnight before consuming them. This is a common practice in east but sadly westerners don’t do this.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I also am struggling with this problem (even lower results than yours). My doc gave me iron pills and I couldn’t take them. Horrible headaches from it. So I’ve been trying to also heal my deficiency with diet. Some of the foods you avoided are iron rich, but I can totally see how in your case they did more harm then good! I’m trying also to eat the iron rich foods that I can tolerate and that I like. That also means more meat! Heme-iron is just more absorbable, there’s no getting around it. Personally, I have to be modest with the red meat because of hereditary high cholesterol. We’re all so different! I also learned adding vitamin C helps a lot with iron absorption. I hope I manage to raise my levels too, the symptoms really suck.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 for the wonderful info. I’m so happy you got yours right! I’m just exhausted and go into donate plasma and I’m low. 😞
First, I just wanted to thank you for putting out a video like this. Often in the medical world, those of us who suffer from anemia are just prescribed iron and that’s that. Not too long ago I asked my doctor WHY I was always anemic, and she responded, “you’re anemic because you’re anemic”!🥴🥴 I have followed you for years and have paid close attention to your journeys because we have almost the exact same health problems. Psoriasis, gut problems, all of it. My issue is, I’m not only bothered by grains, nuts, dairy, cruciferous veggies, nightshades etc.. but also meat 😔 it’s also hard for me to eat a lot of meat because like you, i was vegan for so long and my body still sort of recoils from it. I just don’t know what to do.. what do you typically have for breakfast???
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have a hard time eating meat too. But when I cook it on low for few hours it comes out more tender and digests better.
It is best to check you blood type to see if you are o, a b or ab
@@Sheriffer_Graham why?
Once you go on low lectins foods then things like meat will become easy to digest. Give 3 months of low lectin and this should help.
@ChristineSalus Curious, do you have a jello recipe? Also you should do a 'what I eat in a day' vid :D btw thanks for the video, it was very encouraging to me as I've fallen off the bandwagon of eating healthy nutritious animal products and my eczema has reappeared. Keep up the great work :)
Very informative. Thank you!
Hey Christine, I know this video is from 2020. But are you still avoiding Nuts / Seeds / Chocolate / Grains / Starches? Or did you put some back in the diet and still manage to control your Ferritin levels? Any help I would appreciate it!
Thanks for this video I really need to know these things.
Good job Christine..I hear ya
Thank you for sharing. I wonder when you were still eating nuts and seeds, did you use to soak them before eating.
And what was the alternative to bread ( which is both gluten and grains at the same time)
Regards
Congratulations!
I found your channel today, I have anemia. It’s not so bad apparently I am in the early stages. It’s hard for me to heal my gut however with all this anxiety! Thank you for sharing this information, you look so calm and happy 🤍 I’m sure you’re feeling even better now!
drink olive oil
Amazing and good information
Very informative!! Wow
Thank you so much. I've eliminated dairy, wheat, sugar I'm on an anti inflammatory diet, for four weeks. I didn't know about oxylates. I'll look into that
Hi, i came across this video on my journey to heal myself! I have a lot of similarities from what you are describing i have been vegan for 4 1/2, 5 years and my rdw is under 15 which shows server sign of iron deficiency. I haven't really felt the best over the years but recently it has been worse. Do you have a list of foods you ate that are both low oxalate and low lectin for fruits and vegetable?
Hi Christine, have you increased your ferritin levels only with diet? Without any iron supplements?
Haha, my husband and I already call our diet The Bear Diet bc of the foods we eat! 🐻 You look great and so healthy...your eyes are so clear and smooth! I'm trying to do something similar, as I have a ton of gut inflammation due to having EDS, IBS, gastriparesis, and an ileostomy that prolapses a few times a week. Fiber hates me, lol. I've been anemic for as long as I can recall and the best I felt was when I ate little to no fiber (juicing my veg and only eating avo for fiber, egg, fish, beef, chicken). Then I flared up again due to mold/cirs and now I'm back at square one. I needed this video... Thank you! 🤗 I'm. So glad u are feeling better bc I know this has been a hard journey for you.
😐
Have you tried Kefir and/or fermented vegtables...you may have an overgrowth of bad gut bacteria...it happened to me after taking antibiotics for the first time to heal hpylori...the antibiotics killed my good gut bacteria and gave me chronic IBS...kefir healed me in 7 days😊👍
Hi Bee. Reading your symptoms and conditions , I have to say, we’re on the same page. I have every symptom of EDS ( not formally diagnosed yet), but IBS, ferritin crashing systematically, gastroparesis - were all present. Now my ferritin is rising slowly but surely and through supplementation, but I can’t get rid of POTS and the autonomic nervous sys disregulation upon standing. My gut inflammation could only be tamed with Colostrum ( I use Colostrum LD), and a couple of rounds of Biocidin LSF. Now, no gastroparesis, no IBS.
Do you ever get nauseated, blood pulling in legs when standing or walking for too long, exercise intolerance ? I’m looking for a solution to this still and I’m operating at under 50% of my usual energy level. Thank you for your help in advance!!
@@asathora1819 oh no, I'm so sorry u are going thru so much w your health! 😔 🤗 I have POTS too and for me, making sure my electrolytes and hydration are on par is key. I always add pink salt, potassium salt, and a liquid based mag to my food, which helps me w the nausea and pots symptoms. Drinking water alone can cause me pots symptoms bc it can flush my electrolytes or dilute them, so making sure to add them to food helps a ton. Have u tried a green juice? It's a great way to get added nutrition that is easier to assimilate, as well as hydration and electrolytes. I do a simple one of romaine and cucumbers, then I add powdered maca, ashwagandha, and a green powder for extra nutrition bc my absorption isn't great.
What is ur diet like? Also, have u had any exposure to water damaged buildings bc that can affect certain people whom are sensitive to mold/mycotoxins and create a whole host of symptoms.
Compression stockings may help u a ton, especially if blood is pooling in your legs. It should help u with energy, the heavy leg feeling, and help w exercise tolerance.
I hope some of these tips help! If u have any questions or if there is anything else I can help with, I'd be glad to try to assist 🤗 ♥
@@versatec1 thank u for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I don't tolerate fermented foods or probiotics, but I wish I did bc I know it could help! I get bad reactions from them. I'm thrilled it helped u! I have a friend who swears by kefir. It helped her overcome c diff.
So informative I have the same story ! Thank you for sharing
wow thank you for this! you and i have the same nerve issues where out stomach is the brunt of your anxiety
THANKYOU, I'm the exact same as you. I'm cooking a burger today. I am ILL with low ferratin my lips were blue yesterday, just took a bit b12 shot too. I was eating lots of nuts, I threw them out the other day! Bone broth chicken soup is my fave justnow! Il try and get grass fed meat but to be honest I feel like I'm dying so I'm not being too fussy justnow with regards to organic meat. No more nuts n seeds, I'm not built to be a vegetarian. THANKYOU
Hii, I wanted to add that some of us girls have long and abundant periods and that makes us loose so much blood. It's good to go to the gynecologist every now and then!!
This video was really informative. Thank you so much for sharing😊 I am currently having iron deficiency and my ferritin is 21. Can you please elaborate your diet, like, what you ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am struggling to choose the food that will boost my iron absorption😢
Thanks for sharing! I just learned I have low iron and my hair has been falling out like crazy. Red meat is hard on my leaky gut right now so I’m taking beef liver capsules and hoping to see my iron levels restored soon!!
Did it work?
Yup! Very fast
I dropped to like a 3.5 ug/L & my doctors rushed me to the ER. They were so shook & said I shouldn’t be alive. I also had weird digestion issues, IBS, polyps were detected in my colon when I was 8 ://///
Thanks for sharing your personal experience! Have you researched sprouted nuts/seeds/grains/beans/legumes? Sprouted foods are much easier to digest than non-sprouted/raw, partly because during the sprouting process the phytic acid gets broken down, so the sprouted foods do not contain phytic acid. Other enzyme inhibitors that are also present in the raw forms of nuts/seeds/grains/beans/legumes, are no longer present in their sprouted forms. So the sprouted forms are way easier to digest, they don’t block nutrient or mineral absorption, and a bonus is that they actually have significantly more amazing flavor (at least in my personal opinion).
This is what I came to say
Thank you, you saved my life thank you
Thank you so much! I'm so glad this worked for you! 💜How long did it take for these levels to rise?
I have the exact same problems, my symptoms are mostly hair and skin dryness and brittleness, easily bruised skin etc. and I never went vegan , took iron supplements for a year and my ferritin was still at 11😮 I have the same naturally anxious personality. I think this part is very sad because you can do everything right and that stress will make you sick. It's not as easy for me to be relaxed as it is to follow a strict diet, but this video was very helpful, I'm on the same journey and eat like a bear is a catchy piece of advice I can remember and follow😊
I came back to thank you so much!! My fertin was initially a 5. I had and 2 iron infusions but my body couldn’t handle any more. It got my iron levels up 10 then I started 150mg of iron for 5 months. That high does on iron only increases my fertin levels to 21. That iron really was hard on my body my blood pressure went up and heart rate!!
Thank God, I found your video and quit my iron pill and my blood pressure and heart rate went back to normal. I ate lots of ground beef for one week but I ate mine with beans and rice. 1 week after consuming red meat I went to get my fertin rechecked and it had risen to 47!!! Thank you so much for this video!! Red meat increased my iron way faster than the iron pill with no side affects!!!
My naturopath suggested the same and I feel TONNES better . Still deficient in iron. But no more gas bloating constipation , diarrhea, stomach pain acidity ! Thank God
You look so beautiful and healthy! Thank you for the video
Thanks for making this video! I’m anemic and have been eating red meat everyday now for a month. I didn’t know if it really helps. But seeing ur video is encouraging!
Drink beet juice daily your iron will get better
*I was a bit low in iron a few years ago. Wish I had seen this before. Even though it's not meant as medical advice, I find it very informative!* 👍🏼
Congrats!
I got my ferritin score yesterday and it's 5 - I feel like a bag of crap and have for months.....just getting worse every week. Doctors say it's just a bit low. I don't feel like I'm going to live if I can't raise it. Loved your video seeing I'm going to have to take this into my own hands
L S Hi! I was on the same situation, super low iron, I am Vegan for 9 years now, I just got a supplement the doctor sent in a crash curse for a mont 1ml, and 0.5 ml for 3 months, by day 3! I was already feeling better, no more dizziness, headache, feeling so depressed! And not need for meet, so for everyone there are options.
I'm also feeling like crap for literally years! No energy, easily breathless, difficulty sleeping. I have a ferritin of 6. I did that test almost a year ago and my doctor told me "I could" take supplements to upper my iron... I should have read the test myself!! It took a quick google search to find out I was anemic!!
When you took the iron supplements, did it help you? Did it help your ferritin to increase?
I just got my blood test and I am very low on my ferritin level. It’s 6
@@marievillamin4433 it did but it's a slow process i am taking ferritin supplements made by Thorne I believe this is the product - at 6 it's anemia - I was 5 now last blood work I was 19. The want it to at least 50 before I can cut back 1 pill a day - right now i take one at every meal. it really really works. www.healthpalace.ca/thorne-ferrasorb-60-veg-capsules/?msclkid=51d6c74017941142c7e6a79cc41ebb77
@@LS-to5jo How long did it took you to get from 5 to 19 with your daily supplement?
I found out last week and already have no more joint pain. If it wasn't for this one doctor who did the right blood test, I would've been misdiagnosed with arthritis and depression. My level was 24. Anytime I go out, I smile at people, whereas before I wanted to hide.
What did you change
What did you do to correct it?
Thanks for the info, did you take any iron supplements and with your new diet eating more meat are you constipated?
This is awesome, thank you! Could you share what your symptoms were from iron deficiency? And are they gone now? TIA
Hi Mirjam, I've noticed that I no longer have cold hands all the time and I'm not dizzy when I stand up too fast.
@@ChristineSalus thanks! 💗
Vegan diet almost killed me and I am blaming vegan diet no doubt!
No judgements as people have different experience and I'm no expert. I was anaemic since a child and did not restrict anything in my diet ( I was nonvegetatian and non vegan). I've stuck to a vegan diet for a couple of years and do not have any symptoms of anaemia. Although I do eat more beans and legumes with orange juice after. I did stop taking iron when I was younger as it gave me bad side affects and just dealt with being tired. Haeme iron is known to be more easily absorbed but non haeme is more absorbed with vitamin c. J think me as a person just struggle with absorbing iron regardless if it's from meat or plant foods. But to me I hope to stay vegan as if I can't kill an animal myself then I can't consume animals. Wish you the best though in whatever journey your in.
is anyone else always freezing and cold
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 with there low iron
Yes it is
How long does it take to heal your gut and cut out those listed foods? Thank you!
Mibe is 29 and i suffer several skin rashes.
I believe it is because of low iron in my gut.
Do you recommend iron tablets or supplements please
Thank you for sharing your own experience, I think it's really important to learn about what worked for other persons with same diseases.
Coming back to this video to say thank you!! Thanks to this info,, I was able to finally recover from Anemia much quicker than I thought. I was also vegan before and it depleted my ferritin levels. The toughest part for me though was changing my beliefs all over again and reducing/eliminating dark chocolate, but it's been worth it!
What did you eat exactly?
Firstly, sea water morning and night to seal leaky gut.
Red Ground meat (organic or kosher if you have access to it) its more digestive friendly.
Salads, avocado, veggies
Low glycemic fruit.
Hanuka honey.
coconut products
Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, goat cheese - (didn't eat these at the same time with meat due to their calcium)
Good quality liver capsules - 6 a day
Organic eggs
Fish
No gluten
No sugar - Stevia, or honey
No Coffee or Decaf
No things that irritate the gut
(remembering this is temporary)
I eat Casaba instead of bread.
I eat something outside this protocol once a week.
Thank you for sharing! I too have psoriasis, IBS and low ferritin of 8, low calcium 7.6 (norm is 8.5), mostly ate ( until a month ago) meat 1x week. Now that I have crashed, I started eating meat, fish and daily.
I have a question what herbal antimicrobials did you take?
Has your ferritin increased since then? Are you better?
@@melissabigelow7799 hi Melissa. I am somewhat better but not where I should be. Yet. My ferritin rose to 30 ( last time I checked - about 2 months ago. Due for another test in a month… It turns out I had developed POTS ( postural tachycardia) and my autonomic nervous system is having some issues as a result ( nausea, dizzy, coordination problems from lying down to standing up - blood pools in legs and is not reaching the brain as it should). Supposedly, people get better once they reach ferritin of 100+). But definitely sleeping and eating better than before and have significantly more energy than the above referenced period). Exploring vitamin B1 for the POTS alongside with the iron supplementation I’m doing that already incorporates cofactors ( copper, b12, biotin, vit C).
The IBS is also significantly better from Biocidin ( natural antibiotic). I don’t react to foods as much anymore.
How are you or what are your symptoms?
This was so helpful! My ferritin levels are also 21, so I have a good ways to go. But if you can do it, so can I.
Wait im confused my ferritin is usually between 18 and most recently 22 but my doctor told me its in the somewhat lower but still normal range? But I knew I wasn't feeling well for a very long time extreme fatigue, light headed, thinning hair and just struggling to get through my days but since I started taking iron supplements again I've started feeling a little better Finally
My ferritin is at 16,5 at the moment, so thank you for the video!
What’s the symptoms you get with level of ferritin? My doctor tells me am fine !! When my ferritin is 20 or sometimes it goes down to 16!. I feel fatigue, tired all the time , anxiety, dizziness, short of breath and palpitation.
@@MELLZ282 absolutely same, and i can also add that i was losing lots of hair. That was my main reason for doing a blood test. My hair was shedding heavily. And finally, after two months of taking iron supplements 50mg + 5mg of ferritin, also drinking liquid chlorophyll i managed to increase my ferritin from 16,5 to 36,9 in 2 months which is really good. I know that it would be best to start eating lots of red meat like grass fed beef, but i am not just too keen on it yet (call me ex vegan). My hair is not shedding anymore as heavily as it was before, and i feel so much better now, not as tired.
However, for the hair to feel great i still need to increase ferritin to 90, that would be a gold goal.
Do you check your cholesterol? To make sure everything looks good and balanced? Thanks for sharing
My iron and ferratin are very low at the moment. I need to raise it quick but I hear iron supplements are no good. Just get a lot of red meat in right?
I was diagnosed as iron deficient when you said that you eliminated dark chocolate and nuts, the light bulb went off. I eat dark choc almonds, walnuts & pecans almost daily. I'm going to eliminate those foods from my diet and eat more of the meats recommended on the blood type diet and see if that will help. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
It's weird because my Dr actually recommended chocolate among many other things ( livers, red meat, mussels/seafood on top then eggs but also almonds and chocolate (100%)...). And it's been working. I'll stick with my Dr advice.
After much research and my own experience
If we are going to eat nuts and seeds it’s better to eat them with a big salad with other nutritious foods like all the colorful peppers purple onions purple cabbage
Mushrooms and other healthy fats like avocado
That combination helps with absorption and you are getting multiple nutrients
I wouldn’t eat them by themselves
This diet is so hard I’m already frustrated! I’m at day one and already don’t even know what to eat even though I have made prior research. While I am searching for foods to eat, I discovered avocados is high in Oxalate, and you mentioned no high oxalate food. Oranges are high in oxalate and low in lectin and each oxalate and lectin food list I found is different on each site… so I’m soooo frustrated right now I feel sick
What are the vegetables you only eat and stick to I'll love to try the same vegetable to heal my gut from inflammation....
Great story.
I could not find the xtra info. No descroptionbox. Only the transcript. Need the onfo on the home iron test. Thnx
My ferritin is 50 and i feel terrible,hair loss,cold feet and hands,fatigue,pale skin, i have sibo.and leaky gut
Yes your video helps. I'm doing the same now post-op. However, I I made the mistake of eating wild blueberries! High in tannins, that prevent iron absorption.
Hi. I just wanted to ask if you ever considered iron infusions?
when you iron levels were low did you feel physical and mental different ? thanks
My exact problem now but haven't gone to a doctor yet, did your skin turned yellow when you were sick? Cause i look really bad along with extreme fatigue
My Iron level is 8. I have always been low iron doctor never told me this could be the reason I have a yellowish tint to my skin 🙄. He even tested me for hepatitis I was negative. Finally started iron treatment. Hopefully I lose a little weight after getting my iron level normalized.
May I know how long you ate red meat for to get back to normal iron level?
hey, i have a problem and i hope that i get an answer please. Im following a leaky gut diet and i’ve heard a lot of people say that red meat is inflammatory to the gut, but i became deficient in iron to the lowest level and i dont know what to do. can someone tell me what to do please?
Your eyes are gorgeous thank you for sharing info
I’m glad your iron levels are better. ☺️🙏✨
How much red did you on a daily in order to improve your iron?
How does this company check your iron levels without blood work from your home?
Iron infusions work well too.
This is good and sprouted nuts, seeds and grains are better for/on the gut as well.
Without starches (potatoes), what carbs are you getting?
this video should be watched by anyone who professes a vegan diet.Anemia, low thyroid function, impaired digestion and so on.Women also have an increased need for copper.This unfortunately binds to oxalates also.Lack of copper causes, among other things, severe anemia.Hello from the Czech Republic.
How do you get more copper?
@@DragonQueen78 liver is good source
Interesting vid, I'm iron deficient and have some of the digestive issues you're on about, can't eat beans, peanuts, in short the legume family causes me dietary issues.
Just starting on my journey with increasing myh iron levels, many suggest eating vitamin c with iron, grapefruits, pomegranite, ect., my info has it that some fruit inhibits iron absorption, I'm eating those at a different time to see a difference.
I came to this vid when I asked about "Snacks high in iron".
I'm wondering what there is that way, the info that came up wasn't about snacks it was what to eat.
Beside me is a container of fortified Cheerios, I can snack on that a cup is 30% of a daily need, do you have other suggestions as to what a person might snack on to help iron absorption?
I had huge hormones problems for eating animal produtos, gained weight a lot and had a lot of digestions problemas. Once I quit animal produtos I've lost weight and no longer digestion problems. I do eat grains and a very balanced diet, plus vitamins, and A LOT of water!
thanks for sharing, that was useful, how much meat did you eat per day ?
I had a blood test showing a low platelet count, my Dr. said it could be an iron deficiency. I am trying to fix it between supplements and adding more iron in my diet. I can’t stand the fatigue i am wondering how long it will take to fix this.
Hi drink beet juice daily it will help, it helped me
How you doing now
The body deals with Iron Meat and Iron Vegetables different.
Heme - Meat Iron. (Veal - Liver) 50% Absorption
Non-Heme - Plant Iron. Vegetable-Beets-Seeds (10% - Absortion)
No need to apologise for giving up being Vegan. It’s not a natural diet for humans anyway, we have canines. It’s rather like feeding a cat or dog just lettuce and wondering why it’s getting ill! Glad you feel better, great video.

Great video thank you!! 😊Could i ask what blood type you are please?
Your story sounds similar to mine. Except my ibs was chronic diarrhea. I went vegetarian then vegan for years and it made me worse.I was eventually diagnosed with UC and Celiac disease. 17 years gluten free and my gut still isn't fully healed and my iron levels have never been normal or even close. I am on a gluten free, low salt, low sugar, very little dairy, mostly plant based diet. I have given up wine and coffee. And I'm still sick. I have also been allergy tested and have no food allergies It may pay off for you to be tested for celiac disease and food allergies that might be where your issues are.
It’s not the right diet for you. Eat some healthy fish, organic meats, etc .you’ll get so much better
If your on a low salt diet your stomuch acids will be low and then you don't break down food to get it ready for the guts to them get the minerals ... instead it going down in half food form.and rots in your gut and leads to all these problems ...
We need alot more salt than we're told . Look it up the romans would eat alot of salt with there vegetables we need 10 grams a day minimum but have alot of veg and potassium foods as well
Keto helped me so much. God bless
But this is what I don't understand. Chocolate / Nuts / Seeds / Beans are also high in Iron, and many blogs recommend it when you are low on iron. Just take it with vitamin C
I think she avoids them because nuts, seeds and beans are hard to digest for anyone with IBS, ulcerative colitis, chrons or any other bowel problems. Look into low Fodmap diet.
