Anemia can also be a sign of celiac disease.

I’m fine but my doctor wants me to see a Hematologist because although my iron levels are fine now I’m still “mildly” anemic. I’m seeing a Hematologist the middle of next month.

Yes, but I was tested and no Celiac Disease. Still mildly anemic.

I see my PCP 5/17, I have no idea what she will say or do next. My younger brother had an RBC of 600 and now has his first ever Hematologist appointment next week. Too bad he can't share RBC's. 😢 Let me know how it goes. Thx for the reply. 😁
