you probably have a root cause to the ID that’s not being addressed! sorry if this is unwanted advice, i just know how debilitating and uncomfortable iron deficiency can be. hopefully you might be able to rule out some of these causes

No I appreciate it, any ideas help. I’m currently working with hematology and gastroenterology at Mayo Clinic because no one can figure out why I can’t hold onto iron (among other blood levels as well). The dr a couple weeks ago said it might be time to start accepting that we’ll never find an answer to the blood and that I’ll have to band aid it my whole life.
