Anemia needs work-up: I generally regard anemia as a symptom that something IS going on. It is not really an answer in of itself. From a GI PERSPECTIVE ONLY: Have you been tested for celiac disease, H pylori infection? Have you undergone EGD and colonoscopy? Are you taking long-term omeprazole/lansoprazole/pantoprazole (PPI medications)? These interfere with nutrient absorption. FROM NON-GI perspective,see hematologist
