I hoped my anemia would improve but it has not. I get iron shots and also b12 shots. I am very careful with my diet. I hope one day I will no longer need the shots.

Heather,
I’m glad I’m not alone. I have a doctors appointment booked so I’ll let you know if I learn anything that could help you out as well.
Best of luck
Erica

I too have been on a gluten free diet for approx. 3 years. My neurologist has me taking b-12 injections due to deficiency and now my labs came back that my iron and ferritin are also low. She too just doesnt seem to put a connection to the two. I am extremely careful with my diet and cannot understand why my levels have not improved. Let me know if you find out any information and I will do the same in the coming months of treatment, it’s so frustrating, you want to start feeling better and think your doing everything right then something else shows up..
Take care and best wished to you

THOUGHT #1: maybe you’re still getting tiny amounts of gluten in your diet, despite your best efforts.

THOUGHT #2: Find a doctor who specializes in celiac.

Hope that helps

I gained a healthy an necessary thirty pounds and all around feel better since I cut gluten out of my diet, however my iron is still extremely low and I must continue taking iron supplements daily. I recently found out that I am also B12 deficient. I’ve read that if I’m not eating gluten niether of these should be low and my doctor seems oblivious to any connection between my celiacs disease and the deficiencies. She simply has me taking iron and B12 supplements instead of finding out WHY I am still iron and now B12 deficient. Any thoughts?
