Help! Vegan forced to find meaty solution

No one would believe me if I just told them that every day my head is reeling, and the room spinning and blood pressure so low that I have to hold onto things in order to hide the fact that I am about to pass out.

For the past few weeks this has been my reality. It’s partly Meniere’s disease. I can’t drink coffee, eat sugar, no caffiene, no bread, no gluten, no wheat, no eggs and no meat or alcohol.

I have researched the Internet and short of eating a steak I could not find iron. I have been taking megadoses of iron and eating vegan trying to get my levels up. No avail. I have to watch my sodium intake too. And soy and wheat gluten stuff tends to be high in salt.

I see no other alternative for now. I’ve been vegetarian for forty years. In that forty years I have eaten meat two years out of that. I think I can temporarily eat meat to bring my iron and tissues back to normal. When the sun and heat returns I should be okay. I’ll eat what I bought today…no beef, no pork and see where that takes me. Last time I did it I included eggs. But I am highly allergic to eggs.
