I am a 55 year old male. I eat a normal healthy diet. I occasionally get fatigued but have had anemia for 6 years. The doctors, gastro,henatologist can find no cause. I take iron tablets and eat red meat and veges so what is next. I am concerned that there appears to be no real reason for the anemia. I would appreciate comments as I am really very concerned. I do have high blood pressure and am taking medication I also have GURD and am taking nexium to reduce the acid flow etc.

i have iron deficiency anemia and it has gotten worse in the past few years. What I done was increased my Vitiam C intake and take the iron pills on an empty stomach. That helps with the iron absorb better and quicker in the body.
Is it possible that your other meds are causing it?
I know the feeling when they can't explain or figure out why you are the way you are.
I hope you find an answer soon.

You are most effective 15, gosh. Some of the indicators are what I had previous to discovering a cancerous tumor in my colon. I do not see how your whole checks have come again natural with the entire signs you're describing. If you're bleeding, for instance, you would have ulcers or melanoma someplace alongside your digestive procedure, and with the bleeding you're traditionally anemic which could have proven up in your checks. The anemia will make you worn out and dizzy. Your blood counts have been natural? Iron was once natural? Biopsies have been taken out of your belly and colon and so they have been natural? If your whole checks are natural then you definately perhaps consuming anything that's inflicting your disorders.

Do you take a multi vitamin with Chromium Picolinate in it?
Chromium is in most vitamins and in 1% of the population it causes your system to not produce red blood cells.
I had it happen to me and once I stopped the vitamins, it went away. It took months of testing from Doctors and they never found the cause. I just stopped taking the vitamins and got better. I then asked the Doctor and he explained that Chromium does have that effect in a small percent of the pop.

Ask the doctors to evaluate you for lupus. Lupus can cause bone marrow failure. I know, it happened to me and nearly killed me. What you want is a referral to a rheumatologist experienced in lupus.
