                        Please have her doc investigate the anemia or find a new doctor.  For the past 15 years, I was told I had iron deficiency anemia and was told to take iron suppliments and eat iron rich and iron fortified foods.  Two weeks ago, I was dx'ed with Beta Thalassemia by my NEW doctor, in which this blood disorder mimics iron deficiency anemia and iron suppliments and iron rich foods are NOT recommended.
