Hi Eesha,

I can't tell you the exact time limit,but wheatgrass does help,may be not in raising your hb,but it does give you a boost of energy,and sometimes it helps with the hb level too.folic acid is a form of B vitamins which helps in making new red blood cells.Have you checked your spleen size? Stomach size might be related to it?

Zaini.

Thanks Zaini.
I will check with consultant re spleen, but i asked him b4 but he said thats fine. I have slightly enlarged liver but they say thats normal in Thals.
I have coeliac disease too and dont know if that iswjhy my stomach is large.

Joyce, i got mine at tesco recently they have it also in canned drinks.
