Deficient in b12: 160 and feirritin: 10. why and what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Further tests: There are several reasons one may be iron and B12 deficient. Poor absorption due to other medications, prior intestinal surgery, celiac disease are some causes. Certain diets may lack essential vitamins and minerals. Gastric bypass surgery is a common cause. Work with your physician to determine the cause and remedy.
