pamarena1960 your story sounds very similar to mine, no obvious cause for the anemia, never had issues with this before, but I gave yet to see an improvement in my bloodwork. Took a polydextrose iron supplement for 6 months last year and did not see any improvement at all. My hemoglobin and ferritin have dropped significantly recently and I’m now taking a heme iron supplement. Seeing a hematologist soon, this has been going on for at least a year.
