Hi all,
Just been told today 1 month after bloods taken that not only am borderline B12 deficient I am also iron deficient.
At present I will be treated with Iron tablets which is okay if deficency is caused by internal stomach bleeding (awaiting gasto appt) or heavy periods (not sure what is classified as heavy).
If I'm deficient due to inflammationIron tablets will apparently not work - does anyone know how this gets tested?
Love Lesley
