Find the cause: It's most important that you figure out the reason that you are iron-deficient. If you are a vegetarian, please reconsider -- it's not as healthy as you've been told. I trust you've been screened for GI loss / cancer. If you cannot tolerate the oral Rx (it's nasty), ask about the injections. They work and help lots of people.
