Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Dr. Delrie, hemotologist, gave me a timed-release iron infusion after a blood count performed by his staff agreed with my(NP) Memphis based blood count. The iron infusion and the Flagyl (7 pills)(prescribed by my NP in Magnolia, MS. after I told her about the H-pylori attack my friend had 30 years ago)(She also found blood in my stool before prescribing Flagyl).I took a 62 mg iron pill of ferrite sulfate a few days ago to help my timed release iron infusion performed by Dr Delrie's staff. My problem was identified at least a year ago when a memphis blood count said(low iron) and my body rejected the same ferrite sulfate pill I presume caused by the H-pylori bacteria in 2021? thanks for your input..

Oral iron tablets are not well tolerated by some - like myself. The iron infusions {Venofer} solved my problem two years ago. Now the problem has reappeared; I am scheduled to re-start the Venofer infusions in a few weeks. Your experience is interesting; perhaps following my infusions I will try the oral iron once again and see how well that I tolerate them.
It does appear that your iron loss was a result of a bleeding ulcer. I need to ask the GI Dr {tomorrow} to do an occult blood in the stool test to start things off. I am sure that he will want to perform a colonoscopy and an EGD soon.
Thanks for your help in focusing on my own issues. :^) IR
