Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Hi Folks, Have any of you been diagnosed with achlorhydria?(absence of stomach acid.) It isn't all that surprising considering the surgery we had, but it does present a problem long term for anemia. I had my first blood transfusion 2 weeks ago today. I felt better immediately following, but already am starting to feel low again. Even with the trans., I was still 2-3 points below the lowest norm on the hemoglobin level. I got 2 units of blood that brought me up to a 9.5 - 10.5, but already have started to sink. I know since my endoscopy that I have basically no hope of recovering my stomach acid. Luckily the thing most effected is iron, and we already know about that. As usual, your input and advice is welcome and appreciated. W.
