I think you are smart to try a non-invasive solution first. I also had a precipitous drop in my Hgb, Hct, serum iron and ferritin. I used Vitron-C iron supplements and was back to normal in n no time. Invasive procedures always carry risk…. Endoscopies are not a first line diagnostic tool for low iron…. May be appropriate if the low iron is coupled with occult or frank blood being seen.
My Hematologist wanted me to do the Endoscopy also but I didn't do it. Also wanted Colonoscopy too but haven't done it either. (I am overdue for that one so need to get it done at some point) I still suggest going to Hematologist rather than a Gastro. It is a blood issue and that is what the Hematologist does. I didn't need a referral to see one. I am taking an iron supplement also and have received two infusions. The infusions really helped. Good luck!
