A doctor has provided 1 answer

Iron deficient: Trusting this is new and that your labs confirm iron deficiency. You have a GI cancer, stomach/duodenal ulcer, peptic esophagitis or something down these lines causing intermittent loss of blood until proved otherwise. Trust you are not on a bizarre / limited diet. Best wishes.
