A member asked:
I have crohn's i am anemic because of blood loss. i take prescribed iron pills but i keep getting crazy migraines. is low iron the cause?

Yes, sometimes: If you are losing gross blood, you need to be on stronger medicine. Low HGB is one good reason for headaches. Talk to your crohn's doctor. If your disease is active, there are good drugs to usually control it.
