HB 9 is slightly less.As you are allergic to green vegetable you should take iron and folic acid tablet and take almond in empty stomach in morning,this really helps.

Hahaha - yeah, I know that after only 2 beetroots my pee is pink. I have bought quiet a few bags of beet root, so tonight I will put about four in a pot- It does not taste the same if I microwave it. I dont mind the pink pee - I really love eating it like that. Thank Anne18.

Hi Dee and welcome to my lot. If you can't eat vegetables then I advice you to take vitamins I get this way sometimes and when I get this way I take geritol it has 100 percent of everything in it. Been taking it since I was but a child. Hope this helps you.

Thanx free-man. I love vegetables so much, but are allergic to cauliflower, cabbage, all legumes, broccoli, pumpkin.... I drink carrot/celery/apple juice daily and have high carrot intake. I can also eat butternut & squash. I just wish that I could keep beet rood down... Looks as if I will just have to do the tablets, hey.

First of all, you should consult a doctor. For correction of anaemia, you need haem iron which is of animal origin. So you have to consume plenty of livers as liver is a rich source of haem iron.

No no no.... please do not tell me this. I cannot eat liver....I vomit for days.... serious! The smell of juiced beet root & liver (raw, or fried).... it just does not work for me. I cant put it off any longer - will have to see the doctor early in the new year. I think I must just find the correct pill to help me, hey?

eat and drink iron, you need to keep it always with you and do not drink tea or coffee wiht the food, its ok to drink them after two hours from eating or before eating but not with the food
I heard also about iron inj. that works better and great try them, and get better soon

Thanx lifes97. I have also learned not to drink coffee/tea when I take iron tablets. I am now taking mine after breakfast with water. Couple of years ago the doctor told me that, if the tablets does not help, he will have to book me in hospital for 'iron-drip'. I trust God that that would not be necessary ever!

HI dee,
If you ask me no. of beetroot i'm sorry i can't exactly tell you that but if you have a glassful of beetroot juice in empty stomach (probably the first thing in the morning) then within 1 month, the results can be seen. This has been suggested by a doctor friend when my husband was down with jaundice and there was some other secondary infection too..... well he didn't even drink for a single day is another story.

Generally food allergies are mild which cause mouth itching, eating properly cooked vegetables is better for new allergy but old allergy will not affected. Red blood cells are very important for human body which carries oxygen throughout the body. Beetroot juice is classified as super food which purify and build blood, if you like it then drink as much you like.

I tried so hard to keep the beet root juice down the other day..... I know it's excellent super food, but I cannot stomach it. The boiled beet root stays in my stomach, and I enjoy eating it. I know that the raw juice is 100% better, but when I catch the smell after liquidize it, I vomit....
