A member asked:
I experience hair loss and angular stomatitis ... or inflammation of the angles of my mouth. are those strong enough indicators for iron deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or may not: Iron deficiency can cause your symptoms but so can other conditions like pellagra or vit b deficiency and other vitamin and mineral deficiency. It seems you have abdominal problems and malabsorption is a consideration. Go to your doctor and be examined. Fe-deficiency is easy to test, the others not so easy.
