Gertrude is six months pregnant. She loves hamburgers and milkshakes. She is a woman of European descent who has anemia, but she did not respond to iron supplements. Henry turned vegan three years ago after his father was diagnosed with cancer. He eats a diet of whole foods and does not use vitamin and mineral supplements. He also read a book by John Robbins about reclaiming health, which pointed out the environmental and resource inefficiencies of raising animal protein, the negative health data generated by the overuse of animal products, and the health-promoting characteristics of vegetarian diets. He was recently diagnosed with anemia and complained of numb, cold-feeling fingers and toes. What could be Gertrude's problem

Sorry for the long explanation, but this should cover everything since I've had an assignment similar to this.

She could have another type of anemia besides iron deficiency anemia. A deficiency of Folate could be causing this. To  correct her anemia, she needs more Dark green vegetables in her diet. Gertrude's unborn baby is  also at risk for spina bifida.  Henry could have a vitamin B12 deficiency because he doesn't consume animal products and doesn't take a vitamin B12 supplement.  Henry can correct his deficiency and maintain his vegan lifestyle by taking a vitamin B12 supplement, eating foods that are designed for vegans, and have vitamin B12 added to them. It took 3 years for his deficiency to show up because Vitamin B12 can be stored long term in the liver.

a perfect upbringing he will grow up to be healthy and confident adult.
