Intrinsic factor and anti-parietal antibodies are immunology tests so if B12 deficiency is being investigated it could be those?

in reply toSecondchance

Thanks for the reply, I was diagnosed in 2005 no intrinsic factor, have changed doctors twice,my now doctor checked my B12 levels and changed my injection time from every two months to every three, I had been struggling along for years on the two months so challenged the change, to my surprise the doctor wasn't aware I had PA!! Then a couple of days later I was recalled for blood test on the 12 June, that's the one that's going to take three weeks to get the results from. Thanks for the info Secondchance x
