What is a good diet for getting over iron deficiency?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 15 weeks and 1 day pregnant. My doctor prescribed iron and calcium tablets, but I experience severe nausea and vomiting when taking iron supplements. Could you please suggest an alternative iron supplement that is easier on my stomach? My hemoglobin is 11.2. Please find my report attached for reference.

Two years ago I had a crawling sensation in my throat and I thought it was a worm. I also felt it in my stomach. I consulted an MD doctor and he said it was only gas in my stomach. He took my blood samples and the report showed very low haemoglobin even though I had a balanced diet. He prescribed me some vitamins. After a few weeks I started feeling the same again. Sometimes it is normal but while sleeping I start to feel the same crawling sensation in my throat and stomach.
