A member asked:
Which fruits have iron or which fruits are suitable for thalassemia patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fruits will not help: Iron can only help if there is iron deficiency on account of blood loss. Thalassemia has a genetic problem in making adequate amounts of blood....So we have a problem in not being able to fix the genetic abnormality ...So the solution for this disease is complex...Only an expert hematologist can help you manage this life long problem.
