Title: Diet?
Post by: emersive on November 10, 2006, 04:54:55 AM

Is there a strict diet for thalassemics, or basically can thalassemics eat what they like?  I undestand there are certain things that help.  For example Vitimin C and E, Folic Acid, Wheat Grass, Tea, and Camel Milk... but this isn't exactly a diet, they are just some things to help out... is their a "Thal diet"?

Hi there,

Well, all Thals should abstain from diet containing Iron as much as possible or take measures that reduce it's absorption such as drinking tea before meals.

Apart from that, there nothing special.

Take care, Peace!
