Hello doctor my age is 20, I think I am iron deficient symptoms- lack of energy, fatigue, knee pain my diet is good, but my digestion system is weak. Its hard for my system to absorb nutrients and extract waste effectively. I have done some research on this and got some information about stomach acid and digestive juices. But still I don't know where problem lies and what is best solution for this. Is there any test which can tell about my digestive system in detail?
