I have been diagnosed with anemia, and the hemotologist keeps talking about UC and Malabsorption. Anyone have this connection.
What do you do about malabsorption.

I've been anemic before, but after taking iron pills for a while I was fine. Is he saying that your body is incapable of absorbing certain nutrients or that you're just not getting enough? Did he give you any suggestions on what to do?

No we're waiting on test results. I started eating more fruits and vegetables. That's all I'm doing and that's all I know so far. Is it nutrition or disease? not sure yet.

My experience is it refers to your body's inability to absorb sufficient of X regardless of how hard you would try. Question is what are the biggies you are missing. I have regular B12 injections as I can not absorb this anymore. My anaemia is solely to do with bleeding so relies on iron/transfusions ... Different to absorption issues. You need your results ... But this is common with crohns/colitis I believe. Good luck.
