Work up underway: Anemia has many causes , the work up is fairly logical. Stick with your doc till they get it figured out. Treatment is important

Check ferritin: Get your doctor to check ferritin, iron, iron binding capacity, and reticulocyte count. If iron is low, then need to see if you are losing blood in stool. Need upper GI and colonoscopy to rule out GI blood loss.

Tough one: I am sure you are under care of doc since you know these numbers. Trust him/her to work it out. Too many variables without seeing further tests to speculate. Sed rate points toward some sort of inflammatory or autoimmune process.
