Ferritin Level
I took iron infusion during colonoscopy in February as I was on 24ug/l. Then, the iron was 532ug/l (February) after infusion. In March my blood result shows the iron dropped to 229ug/l. My question is, is it normal to see ferritin Level go down within a month with infusion.
I was also diagnosed with crohn's disease but I don't have any crohn's symptoms. My colonoscopy was done because I had low iron.

When you have gut problems specifically in jejunum and duodenum part of intestine.
In that case you can have iron deficiency because iron is absorbed in gut only but in case of crohn's disease iron is not being absorbed and that is why you are having iron deficiency.
