[From my blog]

The patient or child who is suffering from thalassemia should follow the following instructions in his life and every physician should give this advice during consultation or discharge from hospital.

1. Don't eat red meat, liver, brain. As these contains high iron
2. No fruit or meal which are sour in tests. As Vitamin C (predominant component of Sour food material) facilitate iron absorption from gut.
3. No vitamins. As almost all vitamin has iron preparation.
4. Can drink raw or black tea
5. If patient have huge splenomegaly, don't play football or related games where there is chance to get strike on abdomen. If have strike, than patient have chance to have splenic rupture, which is a grave condition
6. Should screen all the siblings and other family members of the disease as it runs in family
7. Should be in touch with a physician

I wish that more folk would take an interest in your posts.

It takes time to get known.

Actually this very good information. Perhaps may heed some recommendations. I was anemic as a child drank iron I remember how nasty it was. Recently learned of red cells off a bit. So making diet and exercise change. Thanks for the informative and useful site referral.

Thanks Hafiz for your info

I have had trouble with anemia too. After an accident was losing blood internally. Never was I told anything like this, but was told to take iron tablets.
