I had blood taken on Saturday and today we found out that I am anemic. I have been taking a multivitamin and iron pills, so why was my iron count so low? Also my white bloodcell count was about 30 I think and normally it's supposed to be 40...am I right? Well my doctor said that I have to take a multivitamin that has iron (which mine does) and iron pills (which i already take) and something for my bowels. colon something....I think? My iron count was about 18 when it's normally supposed to be 25 i think? So what foods are good for me to eat. I know a lot of meat, and green veggies, but are there any others? Thanks for your help... Kristi
