Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
The tired, confused, dizzy and cold is explained easily by the anemia. As for the cause of your anemia, since your iron and vitamin B12 levels are low, I am assuming that your doctor is having you checked for celiac disease (gluten allergy).
If the diagnosis is celiac disease, you will have to change your diet and take iron supplements in order to get your iron levels back to normal.
I hope this helped.
