What to do if i have iron deficient or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find the cause: This is the 21st century. Any competent physician can detect it and do a proper workup to find the cause -- you don't simply treat it until you've ruled out stomach cancer, colon cancer, hookworm, and a few others.
