About 9 months ago she had quite an in depth blood test which did not show anything.
I'm looked and her iron was 2 above low range eg if cut off was 30 she was 32. So since then, sparodically she has been given fluid vit with iron.

Snap shot diet would be salad of watercress /rocket /chicken /lots of salads, stir fry with brocoli, lots of peppers, tomatoes garlic...

Occasional steak, pork eggs.

Yoghurt with fruit and nuts for breakfast on most days or porridge (, sachets) and sparodically home made juice of celery carrot beetroot.

Snapshot.
We don't eat lots of fish at all we do eat crisps and chock

But it's OK.

Why is she getting veruca, we think she had whopping cough and is still residual cough... Much better and not an issue but still coughing...

We've asked for new tests re her on going constipation issues. This came on suddenly last July. And we've got a scan booked re constipation.

Any ideas?

For the constipation, I saw you said she has watery fruits and prunes ?

What watery fruits?

When I was pregnant, I had horrible constipation and on iron tablets. I was consuming lots of water and salads and was still having issues and the only thing that really helped was eating nectarines. I was eating about 2-3 a day and didn’t have any constipation as long as I ate them.

It looks like she may have polycystic ovaries : would this affect her bowel?
