CS,

You need three meals a day, high in protein and vegetables, low in sugar. Your carbohydrates should be whole grains, for example brown rice, whole wheat flour bread. Other healthy grains are quinoa, amaranth and unhulled barley, though I don't know if you can buy them where you live. Also, eat healthy oils, like olive oil, and foods high in essential fatty acids (EFA's), like tinned sardines, salmon, freshly ground flax seeds and walnuts.

Take diet with high iron, high protein and low sugar. Take vegetables - fresh ones are better. Reduce potato intake.

If you have iron-deficiency anemia that does not respond to supplements you should speak with a gastro-enterologist about malabsorption issues. iron-deficiency anemia that does not respond to supplements is a common possible symptom of celiac disease. If you have both the deficiency and KP, it may be well worth looking into.
