Talk to Gastroenterologist on Treating Iron Deficiency Anemia

Thank you for replying. So how do I take my other vitamins, I want to keep taking my multivitamins as well. And If I just resort to the multivitamin tablet, I wont be getting the required iron needed to treat my anemia. My anemia is very severe
