  1. hi
    there seems to be something wrong with your iron metabolism.
    Get a bone marrow examination done.
    Consult a hematologist.
    Keep taking iron and vitamin supplements.
    thanks

  2. In my opinion you should get a s.ferritin,HB electrophoresis, and if nothing showed up ..get a bone marrow exam..a hematologist can help you better than a aGP ..

  3. Hi
    Do a Transglutaminase Antibodies (tTG-IgA) to check for celiac disease , do a CBC test to confirm it is iron related first
    Good Luck
