I have had a history of pouchitis since takedown in March, 2012. I was prescribed Cipro and later, Entocort. The past two years, I've become severely anemic twice and had blood transfusions because my hemoglobin got down to 5. Also had an iron transfusion in 2012. This last time, which was December, 2013, I was prescribed Ferrous Gluconate(Iron pills) due to diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia. My Vitamin D and Vitamin B-12 levels are also low. Does anyone know why this happens or had any experience with a similar situation? Now my hair is falling out and it's freaking me out. Has anyone ever heard of Black Currant Oil capsules? I've been researching to find out what I can take to help with the hair loss. It's supposed to be a very safe alternative but I'm afraid to take unless someone else can recommend it. Would like to hear from anyone who has had a similar situation with anemia and low vitamin levels.
