Actually ... the opposite. My iron levels are on the high side of normal, but so far my body has been able to keep them from going too high.

You might consider adding some red meat back into your diet. I'm not a fan of red meat myself, and I certainly wouldn't go overboard with it, but it does have iron in it.

Have you talked to your Dr about the situation? It might be as simple as adding an iron supplement to your diet ... or perhaps it is a symptom of something else, and you may require further testing. If I were you, I'd sit down and have a chat with my Dr, and be very up front about your current diet and exercise routines.
