They have been low off and on for ages. Been on and off iron for around 10 years. Low iron picked up and explained away by pregnancies and my veggie diet.
However last set of blood tests showed b12. Folate and ferretin low. Put on a course of iron and also took b 12 regularly. More test and levels have hardly increased.
GP finally thinking could be something other than bad diet! He is sending me for a schilling test? Also query Coeliac. Anyone had similar experience. Generally digestion feels fine so not sure am allergic to wheat.
He was talking about pernicious anaemia and inability to make intrinsic factor. WTF? I am.confused and google doesn't help.as so much info out there.
Any words of wisdom?
