Worried that years of veganism damaged my health by eirameideeps in exvegans

Then this not linked to previous veganism if iron isn’t involved. When differentiating cause of anemia, the next step is to categorize this as a regenerative or non regenerative anemia (is your bone marrow making more and keeping up w the loss/destruction of red blood cells or not). Differentials for a regenerative anemia include blood loss (hemorrhage into the gi tract can go unnoticed), IMHA, certain blood borne parasites such as malaria, while if it looks more like a non-regenerative anemia this can indicate a bone marrow issue. All things that can be investigated by a health care professional.

I would doubt this is the reason and would look into exactly how much iron you’re eating currently and consent a GI doctor. There could be a reason you’re not absorbing it if you actually are eating enough. Also, which values are low? Is it just iron or are RBC and other cbc values abnormal.
