Watch Out for Vit B12 Deficiency on PPIs & Vit D3

Excellent explanation about B12 and malabsorption: may be due to other things besides pernicious anaemia
https://www.easy-immune-health.com/b12-malabsorption.html This article explains so well about B12 being malabsorbed; may not always be PA; could be H Pylori or other things. Explains everything really well. I have read: 'Could it be B12?' by Sally M. Pacholok and Jeffrey J. Stuart and it reflects similar

I noticed something.
I have done many trials of different amounts and forms of B12. I went over my notes and it could be that when I switched forms there were positive effects when I overlapped forms in that I still had both forms in my blood stream. Emphasis on could be. I have decided to change my self-treating regiment

Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range?
Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range? My joints in my spine, and hips, shoulder, especially. They click and crunch since I dipped into serious neuro symptoms when b12 likely tanked last September. I also had genitourinary

B12 or folic acid first?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with B12 and folate deficiency, The likely cause is poor diet so I’m happy not to pursue injections at this stage. Her GP has prescribed B12 and 5mg folic acid, both in tablet form. Please can anyone confirm which she should take first and for how long before

Is this classed as low folate?
I'm a little confused about my blood test results. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right group! MCH and MCHC were slightly high which can indicate macrolytic anaemia. GP said I don't have that because my B12 and folate levels are fine (which are the usual causes). However, I posted the results

Trying to balancing T3 and T4
Sad and disappointed to be here asking for help yet again. Yes, I have been chopping and changing my doses desperately trying to find my sweet spot, not knowing who or what to believe. My latest results are : June 23 (0n 118mcg T4 and 17.5mcg T3) (bloods taken 9am before morning meds) TSH 0.01

Anomalous results - follow up
Hello everyone, This is a follow up to my last post two months ago which described the anomalous results from two tests one NHS and one Medichecks only one day apart and both done following the usual protocol. These were done following an increase in levo to 100mcg on 1 June. As I expected when my GP

I make my self treatment decisions with the understanding I am working towards a biochemical solution.
I also see

as a

that I was deficient in for reasons not completely known. All other vitamins may be affected by that deficiency in ways that are unknown.

Can symptoms come and go?
Hello everyone, At the moment I'm waiting to see the gp tomorrow about thyroid and b12. I'm having various symptoms but they are coming and going. They may not be B12 related. Or they may. Eg.I just did about 20 mins of putting a wash on, making up a bed, not rushing. I've had to lie down because

My evaluation of which form of B12 is best.
The best form of B12 is not known. What is in fashion is different in different countries. Supply, what has been used before, difficulty storing, profit, etc. It is also the newest and that is often seen as better. Hydroxocobalamin is often touted as the best. The only justification is that blood tests

Finally taken seriously
I was diagnosed with PA many years ago, it was diagnosed over 30 years ago due to a mini stroke (TIA), put on daily B12 for 5 weeks then every 12 weeks. None of my symptoms went away, some abated a little but, never went away. Over the last 5/6 years things have got worse, however no GP would listen

B12 telegraph article.
Good to see an B12 awareness article by Henry Bodkin (senior reporter health and science) in the telegraph. Maybe there is some benefit to influential people turning vegan and will require B12 ?!
