I am glad you have not had issues. No excessive bleeding identified. My upper endoscopy (inc. a biopsy) did NOT turn up ulcers, cancers, etc. My colonoscopy - I was told in a checklist - was negative for colorectal cancers, polyps, hemmorhoids, etc. Later, dr's ofc. said They HAD removed a hyperplastic (benign) polyp. Negative for Celiac Disease. Biopsy of hyperplastic polyp negative. I found reading on Metformin induced anemia (via causing B12 issues)...here (you must scroll down to see it):
