I take iron supplement pills daily to prevent iron deficiency.
Have you tried eating spinach? I hear spinach does great for iron deficiency.
No, but thanks for that information. My current diet is low in iron, so I will definitely try it out.
Ahhh I see. Are you vegetarian or do you eat red meat?
Yes, I eat red meat, but I've been experiencing side effects like some deadly diarrhea from the iron supplements. So, I'm trying to ease up on too much food.
Oh wow...that sounds really rough.  I didn't know you could get diarrhea from too much iron. What does it feel like to have iron deficiency?
It feels horrible, but I should see the benefits of the supplements work in a couple months.
Are there any other side effects from taking iron supplements?
Ugh yes, you can get excruciating pain in the abdomen, and you can become constipated.
Oh wow...that sounds awful! A sacrifice you have to make in order to be healthier, though.
