@lookingforanswers, and all...Since I began taking the Probulin and GundryMD biome supplements, I have had far fewer gas issues. I also have no more constipation or diarrhea, at this time. I never show expectations as things change in this area so easily and quickly. But, for now, things are pretty good. I also have less left-sided pain, still some, but less. And, fewer 'knots' felt in my abdomen. So, think I'm heading in the right direction.

I am having anemic symptoms, again. My ferritin level stays pretty low and I've had 2 iron infusions after low ferritin tests last year and the year before. I'm now running low, my gums are white which is wild since after taking Dilantin for many years as a youngster I've had gums that easily bled and were always red. So, add nail issues and weakness, etc., and I'm having anemia and don't know why. I think it's the lack of absorption by the intestines, but don't know why. It's concerning.

I'm having bloodwork this week for my PCP and hope to find answers. He may refer me to a specialist at Mayo, in fact, I hope so. I'm worried we haven't found the cause and don't like this...regular infusions are ok with me, just find the cause for the low ferritin and I'm ok. Don't know if the splenic aneurysm is the culprit, but think it's likely a hereditary issue. We'll see...
Be well and be blessed! elizabeth
