Foods to avoid if you have low hemoglobin are pasta (due to the gluten content can seriously eat into your iron levels), Whole grain bread (wreak havoc for your iron absorption), dairy(Calcium hinder the ability to absorb iron), coffee, and tea (tannins found in coffee, tea and wine, they enter your body and binds to the iron molecules). Thank you.
