Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi all, I'm a new member and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kay and I live in Indiana. I have been a vegetarian (off and on) for about 20 years. The reason I've been off and on is because of my anemia. When I don't eat meat (which I hate) my hemoglobin becomes dangerously low. The only thing I can figure is that I'm not eating enough protein. I am adding lots of tofu and beans but it's still low. At times, my doctor insists I eat meat and when I do, my hemoglobin goes up. I am eating vegatarian again and will just keep an eye on my hemoglobin and eats lots of tofu and beans. Anyone have any suggestions or had this problem? Thanks and sorry to write so much!
