A member asked:
How could i be anemic if i eat red meat, greek yogurt (plain), eggs, spinach etc.....could my gastritis/ulcers/heavy periods be to blame?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anemia...: Anemia (low hemoglobin) is caused by the body losing blood (heavy periods, blood in stool), red blood cell instability (hemoglobinopathies), destruction (hemolysis), the bodies inability to produce new red blood cells (for example iron deficiency), or a combination of these. I would guess you are losing a small amount of blood regularly, rather than diet. Blood tests can help figure out cause.
