I'm anemic. Hemoglobin runs between 8.6 and 9.4 I can't take iron pills. I have tmd which always limited what I can try to chew, and even so I usually ended up swallowing most of food... and for several years my teeth have been ground down to less than half heigth contributing to not being able to chew. (And the anemia contributes to the grinding, also...)

Now that I have veneers (by Monday finished?) and full size teeth... I can try to chew (the tmj's should be better set also) and I need to alleviate some of the anemia at least to reduce the bruxism, and keep from wearing the veneers down soon.


Sigh. I was looking positively towards her suggestions. I went into store to buy children'schewable vitamins.. with minerals she said. HUH? I can't take iron in pill form...body rebels strongly. Ok, so then I found a chewable with some minerals but no iron, kewl. Then I read the listing... it has soy. (allergy)

So I move on... nope all have iron, no minerals or some additive I can't take.

VITAMINS FOR TEENS OKAY! gummy chews.. well can't do that but they would have to dissolve eventually, right? OMG 4 gms of sugar each and a teen needs 2 a day! (I'm not a teen either but..) I'm not taking 2 teaspoonsful of sugar for anyone in a vitamin...

anyway... I never found, in that store, anything that will work for me. I will try a nutrition store next. gotta be some way... sigh.
