Does anyone else know what other causes there are for Iron Deficiency Anemia? My Mother has been diagnosed, yet there is no blood present in her stools, she is Post Menopause, so there is no Menstruation.
Is she simply not absorbing her Iron she is consuming?
Is there any condition that would hinder her body from absorbing the Iron?
Like maybe a deficiency in another Vitamin or Mineral, or maybe a particular Disease?
Any advice would be wonderful. She's not completely Lethargic, but getting around doing Housework she becomes tired easy.
I'd really like to help her out, if someone has advice, please let me know.
I've tried Iron Pill Supplements, but they make her nauseous and she usually vomits them. So it's up to Actual Food, it seems, but I want to know what other causes would be for Anemia.
She had it as a child many decades ago and responded best to IV shots of Iron, even then she would throw up the pills.
Please Email me (anyone) if any advice.
Thanks much.

I am a 45 year old male. Last May I was diagnosed as having proctitis. A sigmoidoscopy was done and biopsy taken. Results were that it was not bacterial or viral. The only other cause is allergic reaction or "I don't know" as the doctor calls it. I was put on Rowasa enema's daily for 4 weeks, then every other day for 2 weeks then every third day for 2 weeks. At the end I was still passing blood but not as much. I stopped the enema's for 3 weeks then the doctor did another sigmoidoscopy and found the lower intestine had improved greatly but was slightly inflamed and had me continue the Rowasa enema's. My bleeding and mucus have slowed considerably but now I have intense pain in my intestinal area which causes an enourmous amount of gas. I have tried diet changes for weeks at a time and nothing helps. Over the counter treatments for gas offer no relief. Other than the pain and embarassment of gritting my teeth from the pain and then passing the gas," while trying to control the noise" not to mention the odor, I am healthy while the proctitis is healing. Any suggestions????

For the past two days when I have had a bowel movement there have been large amounts of blood in the stool and it is painful to pass..I am really worried about this and don't know what it is. Please help me!
Hello,
Right now I have a bad case of the flu. I am also taking erythromycin for post-operative dental surgery. This morning I had a rather large bowel movemnet. There was bright red mucousy blood in three areas. I have had hemmoriods. Sometimes I do get anal pain. I had it yesterday. Has anyone ever heard of the antibiotic I am taking causing blood on top of the stool. The blood was on top not inthe stool. It was not a large amount but I am really scared about this. I have had hiatial hernis, reflux and an irritable gallbladder for many years. have had every kind of test done. This is the first time I have experienced blood like this. I am 36.
