Iron Level in food

Asked for Male, 6 years

My kid is 2.8 yrs old. Her iron level is 137. The limit is 120. My doctor said its OK its not toxic level, continue with whatever food kid is eating, just don't give any iron supplements. But I am confused abt Enfamil milk, milk shake with Olpers, fried egg and anything sweet like ice cream or biscuit (eat some times) Which of these things can increase iron level & should be avoided? Pls guide me

Dear Patient,

Thank you for your query. Foods rich in calcium like milk actually reduce iron levels so it's good in this case. All the foods you mentioned are completely alright for your child. Avoid spinach, dates, beef, beetroot, liver apple pomegranate, etc.
