A member asked:

Celiac disease diagnosed in march. endometriosis, heavy periods. ferritin 5, not anemic. also on ppi for reflux. should i be taking iron supplements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

With a ferritin of 5: ...Probably yes. If it's 5 on the same scale as most of us use, that shows low iron even if there is no anemia.
