Core Tip	Children who are exclusively jejunally fed are prime candidates to develop iron deficiency. We found that serum iron and transferrin saturation levels were significantly reduced at a mean of 6.5 mo post commencement of exclusive jejunal feeds, suggesting that an early iron deficient state was induced. Ferritin levels, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular volumes however were stable during the same period, lending further evidence that the proximal jejunum may have the capacity to adapt to iron deficiency.
