to think that with diet changes I can increase my blood iron level enough in two weeks so I can donate blood?

The last 2 times my iron level was not high enough and there's a '3 strikes and you're out policy' so my appointment in 2 weeks is my last chance.
What do I need to consume to boost my Iron levels?
I am taking regular multi-vitamins which include iron (bog-standard vitamins from Sainsburys)
My level(28) is not low enough to require seeing a doctor (32 I think).
Any suggestions appreciated cos' I feel good every time I give blood.
Thanks

When I was pregnant I ate tons of shreddies and the midwife said I had the highest iron levels she had ever seen.

My iron levels were high according to my midwife. Turns out I have haemachromatosis.
