I have taken those for three years. Now I am taking only pantoprazole. Last 2 years is has happened hemoglobin gradually decreasing ,even upto 5-6 mlgm. It is raised to normal after taking livogen tablet (Iron & folic acid) being suggested by a hematologist. Is this downfalling is related to pancreatitis?

The fall in hemoglobin can be attributed to blood loss or lack of blood forming due to absence of iron in food . In your case gastritis may be causing small amounts of blood loss via the intestines and hence the anemia
