I have the same situation! I am severely anemic and had to get a emergency blood transfusion. It never raised my anemia and now amd getting iron infusions. I also have crohns disease and the drs thought the blood loss might be from that. I got MRIs and cat scans to try and find the source of the blood loss. Long story short, the tests did not show the source of where the blood loss was coming from. They still don't have a anwser for me..

This is what my gut is telling me too.
I also have a hiatal hernia which can be adding to the gut acid. I honestly feel like my situation is a malabsorption issue.

Thanks for your reply. Now I know I'm not going crazy!

I'm sorry for your nonanswers tho. So frustrating. How are you doing? How are you managing Crohn's and the iron infusions?

Go to WebMD and search Crohn's Disease and iron absorption. I found an interesting article explaining why Crohn's makes iron absorption difficult if not impossible.

Stay in touch, I was just diagnosed in mid March 2025. I'd like to stay connected if possible.
No worries if not.

See a hemotologist. Rule out bone marrow disorders for sure
