Chronic Anemia?

Thanks for your advice Bugbee, I have seen a hematologist, and she took blood (5 vials of it in fact). She referred me to a doctor who performed a EGD, and Colonoscopy, and found Ulcers in Color Ce, and Internal Hemorrhoids. He put me on high fiber diet, prep H, and sitz bath, which is nothing new. Before I saw the blood doctor, I started myself on iron supplement therpy, and the doctor said to continue it. I also started Vit "C" to help my body to absorde the iron. My primary care physician will be monotoring my blood count. The blood doctor did not seem to have many answers to my condition. I have been Anemic most of my life, but not to the degree now. Mostly I was told by doctors, my stomch produces too much acid, thus impeding the absorption of iron, and other Vitimins. The blood doctor said that I was at a point of needing a blood transfusion, but I do not take other peoples blood, so puts me in a questional situation. I also have or had 3d stage renal desease.
