Bloods???

[PoDundee]

My MCH levels are 33. Something. Can't Remember what. But GP said they are high.

MCV levels are 98.3. Is this high?

Folate 17.5

B12 317.

Any views?

Thanks

Can't really help with the first few results though I think they indicate that you do have anaemia, whcih could be because there isn't enough B12 getting through to your cells.

Your folate is quite good

Not sure how long it was between shot and the results above, but it does look to me as if you would definitely benefit from more frequent B12 shots.

Notice that you posted on another forum about daughter -

good to see that the treatment with sublingual B12 and the B9 from the doctor had brought her levels up as Polaris commented. Really sorry that you couldn't get GP to act reasonably.

Coeliac and B12D is a common combination - probably not too surprising as both relate to absorption issues in the gut. The acid reflux may well be related to not having enough B12 in your system. Bit of a pity that the tendency is to treat the symptoms and not look for the cause ... though GP may well dismiss the possibility of B12 being involved because you are on maintenance shots ... and thereby hangs a tale.
