He wants me to take 325mg of iron three times per day.

I don't know much about this and I am going to do some searching to find out what are some of the causes for this and what I should be aware of but does anyone here have any helpful advice or suggestions on what might be going on? If you didn't get a chance to read my last couple of post on this forum, I suffer from weight loss, fatigue, weakness, hair loss, abdominal discomfort (especially after eating), tachycardia, etc.

I feel more confused now than before . I really feel like this is just another piece of the puzzle but they still haven't figured out what's really going on.

Thanks for your help!
