I've ordered FeraMAX Pd Therapeutic 150 Iron Supplements.I'll be taking two a day.The ones I was taking before were nowhere near as strong.After reading about so many people having had endoscopies for nothing,I think I'll pass.I'll see how the supplements work.The gastroenterologist I saw wants to do another endoscopy (I had one when I was diagnosed with celiac disease but it wasn't him) Funny that when I met him,I mentioned that I had chosen to see him because he was voted one of the best gastroenterologists and he replied to never believe reviews.Now after having met him,I have to agree.He seems unknowleagable and uninterested and has told me practically nothing.He made a few comments that made he have little respect for him.Everything I have learned is from my own research.This thread has been very helpful and I am certain that the deficiencies were caused by the vaccines now.I got vaccinated in January 2022.I waited so long because I didn't want to be vaccinated, but in the middle of a harsh winter,to be told that if I didn't get vaccinated,I wouldn't get the passport and I wouldn't be able to do anything .I got vaccinated and then right after that,the restrictions were lifted.No one told me that I shouldn't be vaccinated if I was already low on iron.I even went to a vaccine clinic before deciding to get vaccinated to ask questions but no one mentioned that.I regret it now.Thank you!

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!

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.
