DON'T drink, or limit consumption of (because they can inhibit the absorption of iron):

Don't forget to up your Vitamin C intake also as this helps the iron absorb into the body..

I would presume that you have had a blood test and that it has been diagnosed as iron deficiency anaemia?

Why do you become anaemic again after coming off the tablets? are you losing blood? I would ask your GP to confirm all my above queries.

A bottle of Guinness a day would give you plenty of iron.
