IBS heart palpitations and acid reflux and chronic fatigue- I was anemic and I had blood in stool- I’m dairy and gluten free now and have no more IBS symptoms but still slightly anemic

[gloriakummer]

I understand about 10% of this. I have so many rare diseases that I’m overwhelmed. Iron infusions help me.

How are you supposed to increase iron levels to avoid this in our children?

[rem]

I had a iron deficiency since i was 7. And i was always a depressed kid with anxiety since i became overweight when i was 11. That time was the most happiest years of my life.

...Do "Allergies" increase the production of "Hepcidin" (which blocks Ferroportin) and it therefore leads to Anemia in Allergy Sufferers ?

[EmbraceWithin]

My ferritin is 3 but supplements don't work as it makes my stomach hurt, and doctor doesn't want to do infusion... please help I feel really bad and want to die but I know it's the low iron that makes me feel this way

[annemarieandrews]

Than-you for pointing out sulfasalazine connection; I was going to start the drug again as my iron was going up, except for swelling of my feet (especially left foot) with the drug I did not realise the drug was probably the cause.

Spirulina is loaded with animal iron along with copper
So it helps alot

[aliveandwell]

Can MCV be hi for B12 defic and low for Fe defic. at same time so kinda cancels (does MHC show whats happening then?) . MCV often 97-94, Just heard someone say that high vite C supp(wonder if happens with high C foods) can lower the copper containing iron carrier which causes higher copper and lower placement of iron to storage. . Am not IBD, and low CRP, are there other labs for other types of inflammation?

[leobwell]

Severe Anemia is 7.0 to 8.0? Well, mines as of last Thursday was 6.3??

[joes]

Can males have this? My hemoglobin was low on a recent test.

[macbrown]
