Iron deficiency on SW?

Anyone else developed iron deficiency while on SW? I don't eat meat and I've had to massively cut down on bread and cereal to fit in with the HE/syn allowances, I'm guessing I eat about 1/5 the amount of these that I used to. They are fortified so I've possibly inadvertently cut a huge source of nutrients. I'm losing weight but my ferritin is through the floor (haemoglobin is ok so far). My hair was falling out and I felt constantly drained. Starting SW is the only big change in my lifestyle so I thought there must be a connection. My GP didn't seem to know anything about SW and just said to eat well on top of taking iron tablets. I'm feeling much more like my old self after 3 months of supplements but long term I want to be able to come off them while still keeping my weight down,
