A member asked:
If i eat meat is it still possible to have anemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
yes: Depends on type of anemia. Meat may provide iron, but other types of anemia require other foods or vitamins. Check with your md to see what you need to solve your anemia problem. Check for blood in bowel movements or urine with your doctor.
