How can I increase iron and gain weight?

I am underweight and have low iron i wanna improve it as due to it i frequently get sick easily like 2 or 3 in month I did reports for iron and hemoglobin Iron level is 74.4 and hemoglobin is 10.7 ( it droped it was nearly 14 ) And for my weight I am 38.60 and height is 5'2 feet

Answered on 18th Jan '25

It's important to address your low weight and iron levels, as they can lead to symptoms like fatigue and frequent illnesses. Low iron often results from inadequate dietary intake or absorption issues. To improve your situation, focus on incorporating iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, legumes, lean meats, and fortified cereals into your meals. Pair these with vitamin C sources like citrus fruits to enhance absorption. Additionally, consider small, nutritious snacks to help increase your weight healthily. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and potential supplementation to ensure a safe and effective approach.

You are facing an issue with putting on muscle mass, although you follow a good diet. It is worth mentioning that this could also be a consequence of poor digestion. Having symptoms such as a tendency to have loose stools often could be a sign of digestive problems. Seeing a doctor's advice is a must. Including more easily Digestible foods such as bananas, rice, and toast will be helpful. Besides, taking in enough water can be effective in digestion.

Can we take plant protein and probiotics capsules together?

Male | 27

It is safe to take the two simultaneously - the plant protein and the probiotics capsules. Plant protein assists in the muscle-building process while probiotics ensure proper gut health. The only rare case with this combination might be slight abdominal discomfort. If you are bloated or gassy, then it would be good if you could try taking them at different times. Also, drink a lot of water with both.

I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?

Male | 37

Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

I am 19 years old . I am completely fine I have no diseases but I am unable to gain weight from last 4/ 5 years . At first I have proper weight but now I am only 38 kg , I feel very under confident due to less weight . What can I do for weight gain and also I want to ask can I use livcon and assicon syrup as many people recommended this .

Female | 19

Being underweight can be due to factors like metabolism, insufficient calorie intake, or certain health conditions. To gain weight, focus on a diet that includes adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Include fruits, vegetables, and protein sources like chicken, fish, or beans. Additionally, doing strength training exercises can help increase muscle mass. Livcon and Assicon syrups are not typically prescribed for weight gain, so it’s best to consult a doctor before starting any new medication. Your health and wellness should be a priority, so eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to gain weight healthily.

Can i take creatine and whey protein after getting tb

Male | 21

After contracting TB, it is important to be cautious if you are using creatine and whey protein. These supplements can put undue stress on your body, which is still in recovery. It is better to wait until you have made a full recovery and your doctor has given you clearance before integrating them into your meal plan. Focus on strengthening your body through natural foods rather than relying solely on supplements.
