Articles linking iron deficiency

[bquoss]

In autoimmune gastritis (AIG) or thyrogastric syndrome (new one to me), iron deficiency may come before B12/cobalamin deficiency. Iron levels may need to be monitored, but AIG patients have difficulty with supplements and could need infusions. Iron deficiency + thyroid problem may be a signal for the gastric condition that will create pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia is the end stage. I hope this helps with recent comments about not giving treatment until the B12 anemia shows. Below, I will try to give the web link but in case it doesn't work, also the article.
