Struggling with brain fog? Feeling sluggish and tired all the time? It might be worth getting a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for anemia. Anemia is one of the most common blood disorders that can occur due to reduced levels of hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen in the body. There are different causes of anemia, but iron deficiency anemia is the most common. It can be caused by blood loss such as menstrual bleeding or conditions that can cause gastrointestinal bleeding such as Crohn’s disease , decreased dietary intake, poor absorption of iron which can happen after bariatric surgery, antacid medications or Celiac disease, and pregnancy.
