Actually, I got Breast Cancer 5 years ago..so had to go thru chemo and went on a regimen of vitamins, etc. I DON"T eat much red meat.

I was surprised when my oncologist told me I wasn't anemic any longer. I drank alot of water, and realized it didn't have ice in it and I didn't crave it..

I take a lot of vitamins, but NOT iron, because it's constipating..I get a tiny bit in my multivitamin.

Just get a simple blood test. You'll at least KNOW if you are anemic??

I'm so sorry about your breast cancer. I wonder if mild anemia can cause the craving? I'm going to go get checked anyway. Thanks for the info.
