@ellie0989 I have the same thing going on, I went to the gastro and was told everything looked good , I went to a rheumatologist who ran tests to check for autoimmune conditions and everything was good . After all of this my doctor tells me sometimes they have no definitive answer. I go every 4 months to get infusions and I've been doing them for 5 years now . Good luck 🩷 I hope you get a answer, definitely would like to hear back if you find out anything else.

Did you ever take oral iron supplements? Or were your numbers so bad they went right to the infusion? In my case I took supplements and there was no improvement at all, almost like I wasn’t absorbing iron, so eventually I had infusions. They will always look for a source of bleeding first, usually before considering anything else. I’m curious, did you start to see your levels fall again approximately 3 months after your infusion?
