They have me on 3 iron pills a day. I had to do the endoscopy and colonoscopy twice this past summer and all they found was an ulcer. Now I am on 2 prevacid a day and go back for another endoscopy next month. My iron level has only gone up .10 since my surgery( a year ago). Next they are referring me to a blood Dr.
