Persistent fatigue, pale skin, or shortness of breath could be signs of iron deficiency anemia, and the cause is not always dietary.

At Bedford Gastroenterology in Bedford, NH, our iron deficiency anemia evaluation looks for underlying issues like gastrointestinal blood loss from ulcers or polyps, poor absorption linked to conditions like celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, and other systemic causes.

Our evaluation may include blood tests, imaging, and procedures like endoscopy or colonoscopy to find the root cause and guide the right treatment. Learn more at bedfordgastro.com.
