Does iron deficiency anemia with high blood lipids cause diarrhea after eating?
Disease description:
The test results show my uncle has high cholesterol, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high triglycerides, and significantly low uric acid levels, as well as iron-deficiency anemia. Could high blood lipids cause diarrhea after eating?

Dr. Li Man
Iron deficiency anemia with high blood lipids usually causes diarrhea after meals. Generally, iron deficiency anemia can lead to reduced digestive function, potentially resulting in diarrhea. If iron deficiency anemia occurs, patients should take medications such as ferrous sulfate oral solution as directed by a physician. In daily diet, it is also appropriate to consume foods such as red dates, red beans, and animal liver.
