now, i dont know this for a fact but, i have always hear that lead will replace iron in the blood and cause the iron to not be able to be absorbed. in which the problem could be lead. We live in a high risk area for lead and usually do tests on the kids at around age 2. And that has been a long time ago, so i hope i am remembering this correctly. but it could be something to check out.
hope you get better soon.
