Dear reader,

This guide was born out of my own journey with HHT and anemia—and a real need to figure out what could actually help, and give me some footing day to day.

Over the years, I’ve read the articles, dug through international communities, talked with doctors, and—more than anything—tried almost everything on myself. Tinctures, dietary changes, supplements, complementary medicine, different kinds of movement. Some of it seemed to help. Some of it didn’t. I’m here to share what I’ve learned, and to learn from you—people navigating the same terrain.

Let’s be honest: living with a chronic condition isn’t simple. Life shifts under your feet. Things that used to be ordinary become complicated, and you find yourself in a reality you didn’t sign up for.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t just want answers for myself. I wanted to build something together: a space for learning, hope, and real mutual support. A community that understands what it’s like to live with a condition people can’t always see.

And maybe one day, we’ll even meet in person—on trips, at gatherings, at retreats—in spaces where we feel safe, understood, and free to be exactly who we are.

This is a guide for adults living with HHT and anemia. It combines practical information with my experience; it is not a complete manual for HHT care.

HHT is an inherited condition affecting blood vessels. It can cause recurrent nosebleeds and bleeding elsewhere, and some people have arteriovenous malformations in organs such as the lungs, liver, or brain. Symptoms and care needs vary. Feeling better does not remove the need for specialist follow-up and recommended screening. (McDonald et al., 2026)

My experience is that I’m sharing my personal experience with products I purchased and tried on my own initiative after consulting my liver specialist, Dr. Issachar at Beilinson Hospital in Israel, as well as my family doctor, hematologist, and ENT specialist. These physicians have known me for years and are familiar with my medical history, test results, and hospitalizations.

Downloading this eBook means that you want to understand your HHT better and take a more active role in managing your health. That is an important first step. Let’s begin…

How to read this guide

These are habits worth reviewing, not a judgment about how anyone manages a difficult condition.

Mistake #1: Taking iron without a clear plan

Oral iron is not always enough to keep up with ongoing blood loss. HHT guidance recommends intravenous iron when oral treatment is ineffective, not tolerated, or not absorbed, or when anemia is severe. (Cure HHT, 2020a)

Make timing practical. Tea, coffee, calcium, and some medicines can interfere with iron absorption. Ask your pharmacist how to space your particular iron product from meals, supplements, and medications. Do not stop eating calcium-containing foods; the issue is timing, not eliminating them. (Piskin et al., 2022)

Pair foods thoughtfully. Vitamin C helps the absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods. Lentils with bell peppers, or beans with a squeeze of lemon, are easy examples. A supplement is not automatically necessary. (NIH ODS, 2025b)

Vitamin C in context

Moisture and a gentle touch

Mistake #2: Ignoring nasal dryness

Moisturizing the nasal lining is a first step in HHT nosebleed management. The international guidelines recommend topical therapies that humidify the nasal mucosa, commonly saline spray or gel. This recommendation does not establish every branded formulation as equally suitable. (Cure HHT, 2020b) (Kritharis et al., 2018).

I also use topical nasal products, including Bactroban, although the tube is very small. During seasonal changes, I also use Vaseline, coconut oil, and almond oil.

Every few months, I see Prof. Soudry, an ENT and head and neck surgeon at Beilinson Hospital, for a check-up. We monitor my nasal lining, changes in the lesions, and whether cauterization might be appropriate. My symptoms fluctuate, and I have noticed a difference depending on how consistently I maintain nasal moisture.

Room comfort: I find a cool-mist humidifier helpful when the air feels dry, especially at night. A link to the model I purchased appears below.

When using a humidifier, measure relative humidity—not just temperature—and keep it at or below 50%. Reduce use if condensation forms on windows or nearby surfaces. Empty and dry portable tanks daily, and clean them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Distilled or demineralized water can help reduce airborne mineral particles in devices that disperse them. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — EPA)

Mistake #3: Picking or blowing your nose too hard

HHT-related blood vessels in the nose are fragile. Vigorous nose blowing and picking can injure them and worsen bleeding. (GeneReviews)

• If you need to blow your nose, do so gently.
• Dab the outside gently; avoid putting fingers inside.
• Follow a nasal moisture routine recommended by your clinician.
• Ask your clinician for advice if a product causes irritation or seems to worsen bleeding.

Stress and personal food patterns

Mistake #4: Letting stress run the show

HHT is genetic. Stress, food choices, and lifestyle did not cause it. Managing stress can be valuable for how you cope; it is not a proven treatment for HHT bleeding. (McDonald et al., 2026) However, stress and panic elevate blood pressure, which can make a bleeding episode harder to manage.

Create a calm-and-safety plan:

• Keep your usual bleeding supplies: a water bottle, an open trash bin, cotton wool in an easy-access container, ice cubes and popsicles kept within easy reach in the freezer, hemostatic agents together and easy to reach.
• Track your nosebleed Epistaxis in Same Boat App
• Use slow, comfortable mouth breathing during a nosebleed to help you stay calm.
• Rest when fatigue or blood loss makes activity difficult.
• Reach someone you trust when you need practical or emotional support.
• Reach out to our SAME BOAT community for support from people experiencing the same symptoms and suffering from the same illness.

Mistake #5: Assuming food triggers are the same for everyone

In a study involving HHT patients, 149 questionnaires were analyzed [72 women; median age 54 years (range: 12–76)]. Twenty-six patients (18%) reported dietary items that improved nosebleeds (primarily blueberries and red fruits, green vegetables, and legumes), while 38 patients (26%) reported items that exacerbated bleeding (spices, chocolate, alcohol, strawberries, and ginger). Dietary changes were reported in up to 58% of cases. Among HHT patients, daily iron intake was 8.46 ± 2.78 mg; differences in iron intake were observed between those who made dietary changes and those who did not.

Study Conclusion:

As part of the comprehensive management of HHT, a healthy, balanced diet—including increased intake of iron-rich foods—should be encouraged.

Beneficial: Dietary components associated with improved nosebleeds (primarily blueberries and red fruits, green vegetables, and legumes).

Aggravating: Dietary components that worsened bleeding (spices, chocolate, alcohol, strawberries, and ginger).

HHT studies describe food-related associations reported by patients, rather than a one-size-fits-all diet. Participants identified spices, chocolate, alcohol, strawberries, and ginger as potential triggers. Other participants reported foods they felt were beneficial. (Cavalcoli et al., 2020)

In one of the HHT studies describe patient-reported food associations, not a universal diet. Participants have reported spices, chocolate, alcohol, strawberries, and ginger as possible triggers. Other participants reported foods they felt were helpful.

A food diary can help structure a conversation with your clinician or dietitian but specialy can give you the control of your health. Avoid broad restrictions that make it harder to eat adequately. (Finnamore et al., 2017)

Images: 7-day weighed food diaries suggest patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia may spontaneously modify their diet to avoid nosebleed precipitants. Orphanet J Rare Dis 12, 60 (2017).

Track patterns without over-restricting

When you suspect a food or drink, record the details below. Include other possible influences so that one ingredient does not get all the blame.

Look for repeated patterns rather than judging an item from one episode. Tracking cannot prove cause and effect. Do not deliberately re-test something that appeared to cause a serious reaction.

Taking control of your health starts with tracking—much like managing expenses with an app that logs spending. I developed the SAME BOAT App (link) to track nutrition, symptoms (such as nosebleeds or iron infusions), medication and supplement intake, and physical activity, while also offering the option to generate weekly, monthly, and annual reports.

These are things I have used for comfort alongside medical care. They are not established ways to stop HHT bleeding. First aid and your prescribed plan take priority.

Cold support

Ice – Cooling Aid: Placing a small ice pack on the back of the neck—specifically over areas where major blood vessels are located—and eating a cold popsicle help soothe the area and promote mild vasoconstriction in the event of bleeding.

Water

I try to drink about 1.5 liters a day to keep tissues hydrated and reduce feelings of fatigue. It is important to know that there is no single fluid intake target that suits everyone with HHT. Follow the specific guidelines you have received regarding fluids, especially if your treatment involves fluid restrictions. Drinking water cannot replace lost blood.

Lemon and mint

Fresh mint has become a staple on my shopping list. I eat a lemon wedge for an immediate dose of Vitamin C the moment bleeding starts. For some reason, chewing fresh mint leaves also seems to help; it can soothe the nervous system.

You can add a lemon slice to your glass of water. These are personal habits, not emergency Vitamin C treatment or proof that mint stops bleeding. During an active nosebleed, focus on first aid rather than eating.

Breathing and rest

Breathing and relaxation: While bleeding, I try to take slow, deep breaths through my mouth to avoid irritating my nasal passages—essentially to get more oxygen into my bloodstream. (This is a decision I made on my own.)

Rest is important for preventing bleeding, as well as for recovery after a severe episode; sleep and rest make a huge difference. Since becoming a mother recently, I’ve been lacking a lot of sleep and rest :) —though I certainly have no complaints about the great miracle that is my son.

Without a doubt, if I feel like I’m about to faint or am short of breath, I seek help—and call an ambulance if necessary.

Fan

Use a fan to air-dry the nose between changing the cotton wool in the nostrils. Ensure the fan is free of dust; while the airflow aids drying, it can also cause irritation, so maintaining proper moisture levels is important.

A cool-mist humidifier

A cool-mist humidifier helped me manage the feeling of dryness, especially at night. I keep the device clean. This is my experience with room comfort; the strongest HHT-specific evidence is for moisturizing the nasal lining.

When you are repeatedly losing blood, keeping up can feel like a full-time job. The right route depends on your blood loss, symptoms, test results, and response to treatment—not on finding one universally fastest supplement.

First of all, it is important to understand the differences between intravenous (IV) iron and oral iron.

Oral iron and intravenous iron

Your team may start with oral iron and monitor your response. Intravenous iron bypasses the gut and can replenish stores when oral therapy is inadequate or unsuitable. Treatment also needs to address the bleeding itself. Severe or symptomatic anemia may require additional urgent treatment, including transfusion in selected circumstances. (Cure HHT, 2020a; Al-Samkari, 2024)

Ask at your next appointment:

• What do my hemoglobin and ferritin results show?
• Is my current iron treatment keeping up with blood loss?
• When should I repeat blood tests?
• What side effects or symptoms should prompt a call?
• Should we consider another formulation or intravenous treatment?

Getting the most from oral treatment

Follow the prescribed amount of elemental iron. Products with similar names may deliver different amounts. More tablets are not automatically better. Current gastroenterology guidance recommends oral iron no more than once daily, with every-other-day dosing potentially better tolerated by some people; changes belong with your prescriber. (DeLoughery et al., 2024)

Vitamin C can help absorption, and AGA guidance advises adding it to oral iron. The amount and formulation should still fit your care plan; this is not a reason to take high doses or to delay iron if vitamin C is unavailable. (DeLoughery et al., 2024)

If recovery is not as expected, your clinician may investigate other causes, including vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Do not assume every episode of fatigue is caused only by iron deficiency. (Cure HHT, 2020a)

During my research, I found several excellent websites that specialize in testing the quality of vitamins and dietary supplements. These sites are operated by independent laboratories that purchase the supplements—directly off the shelf—and conduct lab tests to verify that the contents match the label. They confirm that the dosage is accurate and that the product is completely free of heavy metals, mold, or other toxins. (Source: Healthline)

Please note: Although these laboratories operate under strict international quality standards (such as ISO standards) and their findings are recognized by official health authorities, they are independent entities, and testing is performed on product samples only. Therefore, this list is provided as a helpful comparison tool; reliance on this information is the reader’s responsibility and does not constitute an absolute guarantee of quality.

At the public library, I found an older book titled *The New Encyclopedia of Natural Healing* by Dr. Sheldon Saul Hendler (in the Hebrew edition edited by Dr. Mordechai Hochberg). After reading it, I tried some of the supplements listed below, while prioritizing obtaining nutrients from food whenever possible. I felt an improvement with some of them and continue to take them, whereas with others, I noticed no change. I believe the effect varies from person to person.

I am sharing this list here as part of my personal experience, along with links to the products I purchased. I have included the full list of websites below in this guide.

My List

Ferrum phosphoricum 6X

Ferrum phosphoricum 6X is sold as a homeopathic (I buy it at the shop where they compound it for me, following the recommendation of the homeopath who wrote the prescription.) or Schüssler cell-salt product. I chose to include it as a complementary part of my personal routine.

Ferrum phosphoricum 6X is a highly diluted product; it has undergone a six-step dilution process, leaving only a minute amount of the active substance. Furthermore, there is a widespread belief that the pharmacist infuses the substance with their own energy during preparation—which is why it is important to purchase it from a high-quality store.

During the period when I used it, I felt that some of my bleeds became shorter or lighter. However, I cannot know whether the product caused that change, and it has not been established as a treatment for HHT or bleeding.

I did not consider it a replacement for medical follow-up, blood tests, prescribed iron, medication, or emergency care. It is not an iron-replacement treatment for anemia. I am sharing an individual observation, not recommending that other patients use it.

NCCIH reports little evidence that homeopathy effectively treats any specific condition. FDA states that no product labeled as homeopathic is FDA-approved. (NCCIH, n.d.-b; U.S. Food and Drug Administration, n.d.)

The Hyland’s product at the link is a tablet-based remedy:

These are the tablets Boiron sells on iHerb, which people commonly use for headaches.

A WishGarden herbal product called “Flow Stopper”

I also tried a product called “Flow Stopper” as part of my personal routine. This product is marketed as a solution for menstrual bleeding and spotting. It is not intended, approved, or proven as a treatment for nosebleeds associated with HHT.

As the product contains several herbal ingredients, anyone considering its use should first show the current ingredient list to a medical professional or pharmacist, particularly when taking prescription medications or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Eating well can support nutritional needs. No food or supplement in this guide has been established as a way to “strengthen” the abnormal vessels of HHT or cure its underlying cause.

Build variety into your meals

Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation and helps absorb non-heme iron. Food sources include bell peppers, kiwi, citrus, and broccoli. This nutritional role does not establish vitamin C as an HHT bleeding treatment. (NIH ODS, 2025b)

Vitamin K is needed for normal clotting. Leafy greens are one food source, but extra vitamin K is not a general solution for HHT bleeding. If you take warfarin, discuss changes with your clinician and keep vitamin K intake consistent. (NIH ODS, 2021)

For variety, I include protein foods such as fish, poultry, eggs, tofu, and legumes; fruit and vegetables; nuts and seeds; and fats such as olive oil or avocado. Berries, grapes, cocoa, and other plant foods can be part of a varied diet without needing to be described as vessel-repair treatments.

Omega 3 supplements

It is too broad to say that omega-3 always causes bleeding. High supplemental doses can affect platelet function, while evidence does not show a uniform increase in clinically significant bleeding. People taking medicines that affect clotting should discuss supplements with their clinician. Algal oil is not automatically safer for bleeding simply because it comes from algae. (NIH ODS, n.d.)

Supporting blood cells

Red and white blood cells have different roles. An abnormal blood count needs evaluation. Do not use a general supplement stack of iron, B12, folate, zinc, or vitamin D as a substitute for finding out what is actually low.

Concentrated extracts, powders, and medicinal infusions are optional products requiring separate review. You do not need acai, resveratrol, turmeric, horsetail, or an “immune” blend to complete this grocery list.

1 Move within your capacity

Walking and gentle yoga are meaningful parts of my routine. I adapt movement to my symptoms and energy. I choose an amount that is manageable, without treating exercise as a way to stop a bleed.

Ask your team about suitable activity if you have significant anemia or heart, lung, or other organ involvement. Avoid straining or heavy lifting when your clinician advises against it. Stop and seek help for concerning symptoms. (McDonald et al., 2026)

2 Make space for sleep and rest

I try to protect sleep and allow recovery after difficult days. Rest is not a failure to manage the condition. Persistent or worsening fatigue is also a reason to review my medical plan.

3 Keep hydration personal

I keep water accessible and follow any fluid guidance from my clinicians. I do not use a fixed daily water target as a treatment for bleeding.

4 Care for the air and the nose

A clean humidifier can help room comfort when the air is dry. I also discuss nasal moisture products with my team. I do not assume that humidified air guarantees fewer bleeds. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, n.d.; Cure HHT, 2020b)

5 Use a comfortable calming practice

Quiet breathing, a short body scan, or a few minutes of meditation help me pause. I do not use forced breathing, long breath holds, or a visualization as a way to repair vessels or replace first aid.

In the SAME BOAT app, you can connect to your daily calendar and receive reminders to practice breathing or stretching.

Use this as a flexible list, not a prescription. Choose foods you enjoy and tolerate, and adapt portions for your nutritional needs, allergies, and medical advice.

Fruit and vegetables

• Kiwi, lemons, oranges, bell peppers, and strawberries.
• Spinach, kale, broccoli, and parsley.
• Berries, cucumber, carrots, sweet potato, beets, and mint.
• Pomegranate if you enjoy and tolerate it; it is not universally restricted in HHT.

Protein foods

• Lean red meat, poultry, or fish if you eat them.
• Lentils, chickpeas, beans, and tofu.
• Eggs for meal variety; do not count them as a heme-iron equivalent to meat.

Fats and pantry foods

• Olive oil, avocado, tahini, and nuts or seeds.
• Pumpkin seeds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, or flax seeds.
• Oats, quinoa, buckwheat, whole-grain bread, and iron-fortified cereal.
• Blackstrap molasses if you enjoy it. Check the label; it is a food, not an anemia treatment.

Iron sources vary. Meat, seafood, beans, and iron-fortified foods can contribute iron; amounts and absorption differ. The label matters, and food may not be enough to replace ongoing HHT blood loss. (NIH ODS, 2025a; Cure HHT, 2020a)

Option A Iron-containing foods with vitamin C

These menus are ideas for everyday eating. They have not been analyzed for iron, calories, or individual requirements and cannot guarantee a rise in hemoglobin. Adapt them with a dietitian if you need a therapeutic plan.

Easy swaps: Lemon is optional—bell peppers, kiwi, or another tolerated vitamin C food can be used. Mushrooms can add variety, but they are not nutritionally interchangeable with meat, tofu, or legumes as the main protein and iron source.

Option B Familiar meals and variety

The aim is a manageable week of varied, familiar meals. Add portions, sides, and snacks to meet your needs.

Water is a simple drink choice when it fits your fluid plan. Herbal drinks are not essential to this menu. Review medicinal infusions and concentrated extracts separately, especially if you take medicines or have liver involvement.

Websites specializing in testing vitamins and dietary supplements

Below is a table listing websites that specialize in testing vitamins and dietary supplements, including direct links:

Independent rating and laboratory testing sites

ConsumerLab

Considered the most popular and comprehensive site for vitamin and supplement testing. The company independently purchases products and publishes detailed reports comparing various brands within each category (e.g., Vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, etc.).

Note: Some full reports require a paid subscription, but the site provides a list of products that passed testing (were approved).

Labdoor

An excellent site offering free access to vitamin and supplement ratings. They test products in chemical laboratories and assign a weighted score based on ingredient purity and dosage accuracy relative to the label claim.

🎖️ Databases from official certification bodies (completely free)

These are the official websites of the major standards organizations. If a vitamin brand has earned their quality seal, it will appear in these databases:

USP (United States Pharmacopeia)

A long-established scientific organization that sets official quality standards for medications and supplements in the U.S. Their website features a search engine listing all brands and vitamins that have met their rigorous standards (“USP Verified”). [9, 10]

NSF International

One of the world’s most recognized certification bodies. Their website hosts a public database where you can search for a supplement or vitamin brand to verify whether the manufacturer and the specific product hold the organization’s official certification.

Informed Sport / Informed Choice

A service specializing primarily in testing nutritional supplements and vitamins for athletes. You can use their database—along with the batch number found on the back of the bottle—to confirm that the specific vitamin product you purchased has undergone rigorous laboratory testing and is free from banned substances or contaminants.

Small timing changes, better preparation, and a clearer record of your symptoms can make conversations with your care team more useful. The correct treatment route, dose, and monitoring plan remain individual medical decisions.

You may not be able to prevent every bleed, but you can become better prepared for what your body is telling you. In my own experience, some periods of greater consistency have coincided with lighter or shorter bleeds. That is a personal observation, not a guaranteed outcome.
