Has a doctor gone over all potential causes of "anemia" with you?
For instance, have you had a stool sample checked for blood?
Are you experiencing abnormally heavy or prolonged periods?
These are rhetorical questions.

Please be sure the cause is all dietary deficit prior to making that assumption. You may have this already covered.

There are some "smoothies" which contain iron.
Plant sources of iron are usually easily assimilated.
Search vegetarian sources of iron, you may be surprised at the sources!

There are powdered vites you can add to your smoothies. A brand named
"All One" comes to mind. There are also whole food liquid vites for women, taking into account the potential need for iron, due to loss during menstruation.

Do you eat a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle?
if not, there are grass-fed organ meets you can utilize as well.

There is also anemia related to Vitamin B12 deficiency.

The nausea appears to be problematic and preventing eating.
A GI consult might prove helpful?

A re-evaluation of meds may be in order.

It's critical the potential causes of anemia are confirmed.

Either way, hop right on building up your iron.
