I've noticed this trend twice in the last 5 months. High Total iron binding capacity with normal iron levels.
High TBIC would usually indicate low iron, but mine is normal so I'm confused. I eat 1lb of lean ground beef/day and plenty of greens.
My physician says he isn't concerned and to eat more red meat. I'm concerned there may be an underlying issue but I can't find anything after doing some research.
HCT and hemoglobin are perfectly normal.
Any insight on what may cause this?
