Causes of iron deficiency anemia include: 1  Blood loss. Blood contains iron within red blood cells. 2  A lack of iron in your diet. Your body regularly gets iron from the foods you eat. 3  An inability to absorb iron. Iron from food is absorbed into your bloodstream in your small intestine.  Pregnancy.
If the GI tract is not functioning correctly, as is the case in people with certain conditions such as celiac disease, gastritis (stomach inflammation), gastric bypass surgery (eg, for weight loss), or other forms of weight loss surgery, an inadequate amount of iron may be absorbed, leading to iron deficiency anemia.

However, this is rarely seen in adults in developed countries such as the United States because many foods have added iron (eg, breakfast cereal, bread, pasta).
