Next time you're in there, pick up a couple Tunnock's Tea Cakes. Literally the best snack on earth.

We've got one. It's like Poverty Pier One Imports with an expired foods section. expired like the stuff you'd find at TJmaxx/Marshalls. (no fresh foods)
You CAN find the occasional rug or generally poorly made unique furniture piece, but if it's going to get 'normal' wear and tear, it's probably a good idea shop elsewhere.
Playing Pescatarian has made me pretty friggin sick. Like, my body feels like the strength of a noodle.
Fuck all that.
Back to meat, I go.

wow, i feel the complete opposite.
i feel better and I'm super excited about the no bloat feeling.
i eat fish 3x a week and full vegetarian otherwise.
i don't feel sluggish at all....
Gluten free = no, the biscuit part has wheat in it.
Vegan = no, the chocolate has milk in it.
So you can safely eat it without being a dirty hippie.
You may just need to eat more food in general. People often don't realize how much more other food they have to eat to make up for the dense calories of the meat they've given up. Maybe try tracking your food for a week on chronometer and see what's up.
No, it's the complete lack of heme iron.wow, i feel the complete opposite.

I cannot absorb iron another way. No supplements help. I've been thru several blood infusions in my 20's & just thought that all these years I was fine. But, I was mainly. Until I stop eating meat. Now, I 've to struggle so hard to get back to feeling ok, & it's been a long haul already.
Ah that makes sense!
I take my iron supplements so for me so far it's been ok.
I load up on kale, strawberries and spinach as well

That's weird. fish is a high quality source of lean protein and that style is usually fairly well rounded. You mention heme iron deficiency, but oysters and clams contain very high levels.
Thx so much! I know that you want to tell me so much more, because you are vegan, so I truly appreciate this.
It's not HEME iron. I thought I would be fine without it, but I'm not.
Before I say this, you do whatever makes you feel healthy and gives you the energy you need.
Iron-Rich Foods
Very good sources of heme iron, with 3.5 milligrams or more per serving, include:
- 3 ounces of beef or chicken liver
- 3 ounces of clams, mollusks, or mussels
- 3 ounces of oysters
- 3 ounces of cooked beef
- 3 ounces of canned sardines, canned in oil
- 3 ounces of chicken
- 3 ounces of cooked turkey
- 3 ounces of halibut, haddock, perch, salmon, or tuna
- 3 ounces of ham
- 3 ounces of veal
- 3 ounces of halibut, haddock, perch, salmon, or tuna
You are SO lucky!! I learned that my beloved spinach actually hinders the absorption of iron because of the type of acids it contains. So, I quit that last week. The severe deficiency didn't show up until recently, btw. And I've been doing this "hardly to no meat" thing for almost a year. So, be careful, cuz you've been thru some sicknesses that could have altered your gut & the ease of absorption.
