Hi. Serum iron tests are useless to rule it out. The test has to be TIBC. Also a liver function test is really important regardless of the cause. Scotland has a very high incidence of this disease as well.

Oops just saw you listed your level. A low inflammation diet may help with the bloat. I see an integrated md. She says bloat is bad! Mine is from prednisone. The diet has helped a lot. Good Luck.
