• Background - Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are exposed to high risk of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia mainly due to blood loss and reduced iron absorption. Design - A case-control study where 28 IBD patients and 28 matched controls undertook an iron absorption test which measured sequential rises in serum iron over four hours following ingestion of 200 mg ferrous sulphate.
