Re: [Los_Angeles_Celiac] iron deficiency anemia

Interesting you bring this up. I have a fairly gluten free diet and just
had lab work done last week. The only concern my doctor had was that my B12
was low. I had not connected my celiac and this deficiency.

I would appreciate any information you may have.

Mary
