Re: Re: Iron Deficiency Question

[Guest guest]

I am glad as well. Abby's Metabolic panel showed low Iron also but our DAN

doctor did not mention doing anything about it. Probably because she was

deficient in so many other things. I am wondering if this is common in our

ASD kids? She has an appt. tomorrow so will ask about it.

Best thing isn't necessarily just to increase iron rich foods like green

leafy veggies and meat (especially organ meats) but most importantly they

must be eaten with a vitamin C enrich food to increase the absorption.

Do include some iron rich foods like liver and soinach when possible.

So, how do you get a 5-year-old self-imposed vegetarian (who does eat

eggs) to eat liver?

Even when I boil ground chicken and sneak tiny bits into waffles he can

detect it!

He won't even eat delicious nutflour-encrusted chicken nuggets.

My next question is: What is the best way to disguise spinach? I know

it has a strong taste/smell, but can it be smuggled into any baked

goods? (He won't eat meatloaf.)

TIA,

Debbie

mother to Jake (2/5/99; ASD; GFCF and corn- and soy-free since 9/22/02;

SCD since 4/24/04) and Rudy (2/5/99; NT; probably wouldn't eat liver

either)

There was also green bean, garlic, onion and meat and it hid the strong

spinach flavor.

Thanks, Kathy. Unfortunately, he doesn't eat any sauce, chili, or other

meats.
