    The effects of iron deficiency are similar to those of vitamin B deficiency:



    • Burning sensation in the mouth and tongue

    • Fungal infections in the mouth

    • Tongue redness and swelling

    • Sores and pale tissue in the mouth


    Iron deficiency can be caused by a poor diet or by intestinal problems that reduce iron absorption. It also can result from regular blood loss, such as from heavy menstrual periods or internal bleeding. Iron deficiency can cause anemia.


    Good sources of iron include:



    • Lean meat

    • Leafy green vegetables

    • Beans

    • Shellfish

    • Whole-grain bread


    People with significant iron deficiency may have to take iron supplements.
