The first step would be for her to see her doctor for some testing. The doctor can determine the likely cause of the anemia, with the most common being iron deficiency.
If she is iron deficient related to being vegetarian, the doctor will most likely recommend an iron supplement. They should be taken with meals to minimize stomach irritation.
Foods that contain iron should be eaten liberally. Foods suitable for a vegetarian that are high in iron include:
* Dark leafy greens (spinach, asparagus, broccoli, etc) * Tofu (some brands even fortify theirs with extra) * Fortified cereals (oatmeal, grits, rice, some pastas) * Dried beans * Nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds in particular) * Dried fruits (apricots, raisins, dates, Prunes, figs)
Be sure to follow up with your doctor to monitor your iron and blood levels to determine your treatment level.

Understanding Anemia And Its Symptoms?
Anemia is a condition that occurs when a person is deficient in red blood cells. Red blood cells are needed to carry oxygen to different parts of the body. If a person has anemia, then he or she will most likely feel exhausted. What Are Some Of The Causes Of Anemia? Anemia can occur when your body does not produce enough red blood cells. It can also occur if the red blood cells your body produces gets destroyed. Bleeding is another very common cause of anemia. The body may lose more red blood cells than it can replace. What Are Some Of The Symptoms Of Anemia? In many cases, anemia is mild and does not cause any symptoms. However, if a person has moderate to severe anemia, then he or she will probably experience symptoms. Some of those symptoms include headache, cold feet or hands, fast or irregular heartbeat, dizziness and chest pain. Complications Anemia can result in numerous complications if it is left untreated. If anemia is very severe, the a person may become so exhausted that he or she cannot complete everyday activities. Anemia can also lead to an irregular heartbeat. Some forms of anemia, such as sickle cell, can lead to life-threatening complications. Who Is At Risk For Developing Anemia? People whose diet is very low in iron, folate or vitamin B-12 are more prone to developing anemia. Certain intestinal disorders can also increase the risk of anemia. Celiac disease and Crohn's disease can make it harder for the body to absorb, iron, vitamin B-12 and folate. Women who are menstruating are at an increased risk for becoming anemic. Menstruation causes a woman to lose red blood cells. Furthermore, pregnant women are at an increased risk for developing anemia. During pregnancy, the blood volume increases in order to support the growing fetus. Anemia has a tendency to run in families. Alcoholism, exposure to toxic chemicals and alcoholism are some of the other factors that can lead to anemia.

Is 482 platelet count bad hemoglobin 9 and hematocrit 31?
First, it depends on whether you're a man or woman (assuming you're not a child-children have a naturally lower count) and the reason for the low counts. Don't know about the platelet count, but a hemoglobin count of 9 and hematocrit of 31 would indicate moderate anemia in a woman and more severe anemia in a man. I know breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are generally given a blood infusion at a HGB count of 8 or lower. Anemia can have many causes, from the scary stuff to simple nutritional deficiency or over-hydration. Since you must have gotten these results from a doctor, why not ask him or her yourself and get a better answer based on your particular situation?
