If it was anemia, it most likely was due to iron deficiency. Indians suffer from this more than people who live in the US. It is partly due to how they get their iron. Eat your iron rich foods with some orange juice or other vitamin C product, it will help. Or could have been pernicious anemia which is a vitamin B-12 deficiency. But B-12 shots would be necessary. Or it could be folic acid deficiency anemia, but this is resolved by taking folic acid supplements. But most likely, if it really was anemia, it was due to an iron deficiency. None of the anemias will require eating meat. Not that I think that meat is bad in moderation. We are omnivores after all. >
