Serum iron level alone is not valuable. In order to make the diagnosis of iron deficiency or iron toxicity, the whole iron panel needs to be done which should include iron level, TIBC and ferritin level. Recently, many studies have shown significant side effects of long term PPI usage and one of them is iron deficiency but I am more concerned about other side effects for a young man like you.
