CBC report is fine although 2 weeks old. ferritin Level is normal which is also a good sign. I think patient Fecal Occult blood test should be done to see any active bleed . and he can be switched to oral iron supplements if he tolerates . Also consult his physician for IBD.

First you need to treat the cause of bloody stool otherwise it’ll continue to decrease his HB supplement iron will not increase his Hb. So combination of medicine is recommended. To heal the ulcer, food readjustment needed.
