Chickflick, I think the number one thing to suspect with low Iron when no obvious cause can be found is an overgrowth of candida. You can't depend on doctors finding this and they are not going to look for it because they don't believe it exists. They would have to do a stool test and an antibody test can confirm it but there are only a couple of labs in the country that does this. Here's a test you can take to give you some idea if this might be the problem. If this is the problem and you have caught it in the early stages you might correct it with just a good probiotic with multiple strains of bacteria, also yellow dock root is one of the best Iron supplements.

The major waste product of yeast cell activity is acetaldehyde and the by-product ethanol. Many people have a low iron content because this mineral is hard to absorb when Candida is present, and therefore have little oxygen in the tissues. Ethanol can cause excessive fatigue and reduces the strength and stamina which takes away ambition. It destroys enzymes needed for cell energy and causes the release of free radicals that encourages the aging process. Candida Albicans in an incredible destroyer of health and is the main missing link in many of our modern day diseases and sub-health conditions.
