Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some chronic blood loss due to ulcer. You should take treatment of that first. For low ferritine level you can take oral iron supplements like ferrous sulphate or ferrous fumarate. Or injectable iron like iron dextran or iron sucrose. You should take iron rich food like dates, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, jeggary etc.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
