A member asked:
I'm taking 330 mg of ferrous fumarate, my ferritin is 4.4 and iron 26, i also have celiac and i heard that iron pills won't raise such low levels and that i may need an infusion, is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Celiac disease reduces absorption of oral iron. As you suggest, probably you need iron by infusion. It would be best to be in the care of both a gastroenterologist and hematologist. Good luck.
