So those that have read me for a bit know that I have anemia really bad. So I started taking Molasses (although I hate the stuff) as it is high in Iron. So I go about mixing it with water and chugging it down and then drinking lots of water or juice to mask the aftertaste. 
Our daughter saw me doing this and asked to try, so I said okay .. 
Lets just say she was not impressed either! Yes child, join mom in her misery and quest to getting better!

That is a good thing! I smoked too but have quit, was so hard. I quit the first time cold turkey and that was rough! Stopped for about 5 years and was stupid and started again, was too stressed to handle things. Stopped this time by vapping. Lots easier and not as bad for you. I know a few of 3 out of 8 of ours still smoke.

@Ithink yes the problem being that your kids want to be like you so they pick it up.

You can't just take iron pills? I had no idea molasses had iron in it. When I feel like I'm getting low on iron I just eat more leafy greens, especially spinach. I really like spinach.

No I'm so anemic I have had to have blood transfusions. So I'm doing everything iron I can, I eat Liver, Spinach, Molasses, Greens, if it has iron and I eat it is what is going in my mouth. I don't want to get another transfusion, and cant afford another one. So doing what I can.

@katsmeow1213 I am now, I have tried 3 different iron pills and couldnt keep any of them down. Just got another one and it does cause some serious stomach pain for about 1/2 hour but only in the morning. I take it 3 times a day to boost this iron up. Hoping it works.

@Ithink Oh that's pretty bad! Yeah, I'd eat the nasty stuff too! Are you taking supplements as well?

I feel bad that your are anemic. From what I read, it is not yet treatable/curable but hopefully it will be soon. Happy that your daughter tasted your delicious (not) drink!

Thank you. 
It actually is if it isn't an on going thing, unfortunately it is caused by a condition I have but I'm working on getting it under control. I eat and drink everything I can with Iron and Vitamin C in it. I also take iron pills 3 times a day. Will be a long hard road but I will do it! I want to be here for my family.
