I got a colonoscopy to hunt for my IDA problem and am 82 years old.Polyps were not a problem, but the gastroenterologist told me diverticula may be leaking blood. My hematologist said this was a common problem for people my age. I got one iron infusion and will see the hematologist in November. I attempt to take 32 mg of iron daily.

Thanks so much for the insight! One of my extended family members also had diverticula but I am not sure if it made her iron deficient.
