You should get rid of your new hippie girlfriend obviously.

Or eat some beans

Yea, I'm considering supplements because I don't like those foods. I am dubious about how much iron actually gets absorbed through supplements though.

You don't like any of those foods and you're trying to be a vegetarian? What do you eat?

I don't really eat nuts or legumes. I have some pistachios but I don't think their iron content is super high.

Iron shouldnt be a concern with balanced vegetarian diet. You're right that iron supplements are garbage. Buy unsulphured blackstrap molasses and add it to smoothies or just have a few spoonful of it if really concerned.

Going to feel like a school marm for saying this, but why not get a blood test to see if iron or anything is low and/or use cronometer to log your diet for a week to see what the micros look like. If you've been on this diet for 3 weeks your current levels should be a pretty good indicator and the tests are cheap.

I don't feel any symptoms of low iron. I know them well because my sister is severely anemic; she's had to be hospitalized for it.

3 weeks is enough time? sounds right but I don't know the details of that.

A couple of spoonfuls of potting soil every now and then should keep you right.

I went looking for that gluten flour in my local supermarket and couldn't find it so will have to try another. I did pick up some Kakadu plum and chilli sauce to go with it though. Haven't tried it yet so not sure how good it is. If I like it I'll post a link.

It's not gluten-free flour, it's wheat gluten aka seitan. If you think I would use gluten-free flour I'm gonna have to get all #thinman on you.

I went to an independent supermarket which would have had 50 different types of flours and it wasn't there. It's either named something completely different here or I need to order it online.

I'm surprised you're finding it so difficult to local gluten flour/wheat gluten. It's not like it's just some exotic vegan fake meat ingredient; gluten flour is an ingredient in most rye breads, so any place with a large baking section should have it. I used to find it in bulk bins in health food stores and pre-packaged in grocery stores, but lately I've only found it pre-packaged in both. It's usually this brand, but there are other brands as well. If you live near any of these places, you should be able to find it.

I agree, I was surprised also. I actually went to one of the stores that website listed lol. Appreciate the link though, I'll just ring around before going.

been vegetarian for about six months and will start eating meat again in a couple months. Is it fine to just jump back in eating meat or should I slowly transition?
