I am sick of constantly being anemic. I replaced six of my old silver/mercury fillings a few months back. I'm trying to eat more red meat and watching my diet when it comes to raw vegetables and most fruit, no more nuts or beans or any vegetables with a skin. My latest colonoscopy came back as the best the doctor has seen since treating me in 2009. I had my regular two month blood work done Tuesday, and got the call that the hematologist doc wants me to get iron (which is three IV's with iron sucrose). I just finished up five weeks ago with the last three week interval of iron. This is getting really old. They always claim that with the j-pouch there is critical parts of my lower small intestines that is missing, which could be the reason I'm not assimilating iron. There also the active ulcers from the disease. The gastro doc did some blood work in regards to activeness of my Entyvio in my blood in the middle and end stage of the eight week cycle of the drug. He is going to move it up to every six weeks in hopes of arresting the activity of the disease, but it all could be about missing plumbing, I'll have to wait and see. Anybody else having these same problems?
