Be sure to ask to have your ferritin level checked. My hemoglobin has always been OK but low ferritin levels. Ferritin is your storage of iron.
Good point Melissa!
The standard blood work up to evaluate iron properly should include a CBC (paying attention to RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RDW), a chemistry panel to ensure adequate liver function (liver helps recycle components important for RBC production), ferritin levels, iron, iron binding capacity, and % iron saturation.
My son suffers low iron and many symptoms you mention. But what’s the best way to increase iron levels and absorption for a 5 year old? Docs just say he’s on the very low side of normal and not to worry about it.
Find a functional medicine doctor who understands nutrition. don’t wait for the problem to become a disease.
