It could be a lot of things but it sounds a lot like anemia, which is common with losing blood. It often makes you feel fatigued.

i was recently diagnosed with anemia and doc told me I was 10. She said if I got to 8 that would mean a blood transfusion. I found out the (over 40) vitamins I have been taken for well over a year do not have iron in them. So, I had to take an iron supplement and take a return blood test a month or so later. Next blood test showed I was fine, so it was an iron deficiency

However, your pain and symptoms do sound like something is up. I would press the doc or get a second opinion. Sounds quite serious. Keep us posted!

Hi sarahk1000 and welcome! I am sorry to hear your blood work doesn't look good. Have you had any recent tests besides blood tests? If not, I think you should pursue a scope and/or pill cam to see if a cause of the blood loss can be located. Once the severity of your disease can be evaluated, you may need to discuss altering your treatment plan with your GI.

Keep us posted!
