I had some blood tests taken as I wanted to make sure my IBS and acid reflux was just that.
The only thing that came back was low ferritin, ( low iron)
The doctor wanted me to go on irontablets but what with my bad ibs I know they can screw with your stomach and the last thing I want is to make it worse. I asked to be put on the liquid form as I was prescribed this during my pregnancy and was fine but she said it costs too much on the NHS. So she said to change my diet with iron rich foods. I can't help but think this isn't enough! And I will turn anemic
My level is 11 and normal is 12-250
I'm freaking out because even tho she said it may be because of my periods and poor diet I'm thinking its Coeliac or a ulcer or bleeding else where :(
I'm so scared!
