Complicated issue: The cause of your anemia needs to be determined. It is not clear why your previous doctor said that you did not have iron deficiency. Please do discuss it with your current doctor. If oral iron is not tolerable, iron can be given intravenously, but first you need to ascertain if you need iron.
