About this blog

I was diagnosed with celiac 2 months ago, so this is all new to me. My GI doctor put me on a steroid (Budesonide) to help “jump start” the healing process. In the meantime my GYN drew lab and my ferritin level is 5!  The GYN said to start an iron supplement, but when I told the GI doctor about my ferritin level he just dismissed it and said to just give the steroid time. So I don’t know if I should start the iron regardless of what the GI doctor said?  I feel extremely fatigued, losing hair etc. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
