When I was diagnosed with celiac disease about four years ago, the main symptom was exhaustion and after going through many tests, it turned out that I had extremely low ferritin levels. I almost had zero left in my system.
After being gluten free and taking an iron supplement, I was back to a low normal in about six months.
For me, the celiac disease caused the malabsorption of iron and that is why I became extremely anemic.

Hi Ami,
When I was diagnosed with celiac disease about four years ago, the main symptom was exhaustion and after going through many tests, it turned out that I had extremely low ferritin levels. I almost had zero left in my system.

Good luck to you!!
