Low Hemoglobin

Anyone have consistent low hemoglobin? What are the possible causes? My Aunt has had low HGB for some time. She has been thru a lot of surgeries in past couple of years. They cant seem to find a reason. Are there any genetic issues related to predisposition to low HGB? Grasping for straws, want her to feel better. She has a lot on her plate. I am concerned for her health.
 
I had progressive decreasing hemoglobin since being ill with ME/CFS, it went from 138 in 2001 to 101 (g/L 135-180 male rang) in 2006. It was labelled by doctors as anemia of chronic disease. It normalised on the simplified methylation protocol going up to 145 (2011). I took a year break from the SMP in 2012 and it decreased down to 130. I restarted SMP/active B12 in 2013 and its slowly rising again. This year it is 132.
