I don't know the answer to that question. Typically, after an illness, low hemoglobin may be the result of reduced red blood cells. All of the issues surrounding post-Covid syndromes are still being studied, and I didn't find anything definitive. A hematologist or gastroenterologist might be able to answer you.

Do you have a doc with whom you can discuss the question?
