Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Upper and lower scopes were pretty much normal. Biopsy of duodenum negative for celiac. Waiting for other celiac profile labs to return but thinking they will be normal. They mentioned doing the camera capsule to see the areas not reachable with the scopes. Anyone find anything doing this? If nothing abnormal with the absorption then will continue with the oral iron for 3 months. Will recheck labs after 3 months. If not improved will start iv infusion. If absorption labs are abnormal will switch to iv sooner.
What am I missing? So tired. I know this is going to take a long time to come up.

Non-invasive interventions is first line treatment… if oral iron supplements did not replenish your iron stores, the next step is IV infusions. If no improvement after infusions, then diagnostics which are invasive and carry risks become part of the medical plan.
I am sorry that you underwent such procedures before all first
line interventions were tried
I hope the infusions b ing you back to normal levels.

Oral Iron supplements didn't work for me, I had two IV infusions which did work. I have my energy most of the way back now.
