I am a woman. Why does my body reject protien and iron?

Sent to Health Experts April 16, 2004 9:36 a.m.

I am a white female. I can not eat any meat or green vegetables. I can't take any iron pills or vitamins. I am weak all the time. I would really like to know what is going on with my body. And what I can do about it. Every time I eat meat or green vegetables it upsets my stomach. I have diarrhea and I often feel like I'm going to throw up. I have tried iron pills and vitamins, but they also upset my stomach. I can feel my body getting weaker by the day. I get sick with colds and such a lot easier now. The doctor has checked my liver for damage, but it came back normal. I just don't know what's wrong with me.
