If colon or GI is not the cause then a hematologist may need to look for causes such red cell destruction or lack of production. Has your doctor run tests for hemolytic
anemia? It may be autoimmune.

Scheduled an EGD and colonoscopy.
I have seen somewhere in notes that it may be nutritional anemia but haven't had any specialists confirm that yet.
they's like to have the suggested procedures done first.
The hematologist specifically is interested in the results.
I will jot down your ideas in my list of questions.
I know you are not diagnosing, but I haven't heard of red cell destruction or lack of production or hemolytic anemia.
In my opinion, these terms are important to bring up to my docs in order to broaden my awareness and knowledge and hopefully help take the fear out of the new direction my bod is taking me in.
Knowledge is power, right?
thank you!
