Blood test/ anemia

[Mr Pickles]

My friend just did her physical for a state job and they said her blood tests came back borderline for anemia. They said come back in two week and test again, so she does. This time the results were borderline too high so she has to go in again. She eats well for a non BBer. She didnt eat red meat within 2 days of the test. She did have some chicken wings and spinach (wrap). Any ideas? She's taking orthotricycline, that's it.

I'm out of ideas

she should have the test redone first thing in the morning...no eating for 12 hours prior.........does she take any type of supplementation?

Most women are anaemic. Inj B-12 usually fixes that.

Also

Get some organic iron.

 

[Mr Pickles]

i read that if she took too many Bs or took some iron it could make her results come back high again.. ???

she didnt take any supps and took the test twice, once it was too high, once it was too low....

i'll ask her again to make sure she didnt take anything... and to see what's up with her aunt flow.
