since we learned our child has Thal Intermedia, we have been constantly reading labels to identify what foods have higher amounts of Iron in it. unfortunately, everything is processed & fortified with Iron!. luckily, i have been able to find Organic Non GMO cereals, that do not have high amounts of Iron. i am keeping her away from leafy greens, and other foods so far that i found to be high in iron, and is very frustrating around other family when they do not understand her diet restrictions. am i being over possessive about her restrictions? please provide a list of vegetarian foods (including Indian), that you guys can think of have low iron. i am overwhelmed with constantly reading labels.

forgot to mention she is Non-Transfused and her hemoglobin was at a normal level at last check up.
