Hi All,
A nurse from my GI docs office called today with my test results. The TTG was negative so I am assuming no Celiac Disease? However, my Ferritin level was very low at 7 (normal range 20-155) and she didn't give me the normal range but said my TIBC level was high which I guess is another indicator of iron defiency. 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!
