Vegetables: Iron from food is divided into heme (from animals) and non-heme (from plants). Non-heme iron absorption increases when you need more iron, and taking vitamin c also increases iron absorption. Also consider gluten free trial as if one is sensitive to gluten, gut cells get beat up and difficulties in absorption develop.

Iron foods: Iron rich foods include liver, beef ( even low fat beef) chicken and turkey ( the dark meat without the skin) it helps if you take vitamin c like orange juice to help absorb the iron.
