I've been trying to post the link but, for some reason cannot - only available for 24 hours but very interesting. They mention the importance of B12 being absorbed from acid in the gut.

Polaris ...This is very interesting. I have been on a journey of discovery which has made me lose my faith in doctors completely. After years of misdiagnosis for staggering, exhaustion, nose bleeds, jount pain , ibs symptoms. ...you name it, I have now been diagnosed positive for hpylori, only after I requested a test be done. I googled all these symptoms after finding out I was b12 deficient. after triple therapy I decided to look for help for hpylori and am now taking an enteric coated probiotic and also a good quality oil of oregano. I have had to cut out milk and sugar. no doctor has given me follow up or advised probiotics. my b12 deficiency stems from the hp bacterial infection which I have had for years and this has probably permanently damaged my digestive tract.
I'm so sorry you've had to suffer so long with little help Peggy but glad you've found the right treatment after all your own research 🤗 I very much identify with your gastric symptoms, IBS and H/pylori and only recovered after following g/f diet and taking organic sauerkraut (best probiotic I'd tried).
Heartily agree about little faith in GPs after having spent most of today trying to convince all involved in my relative's health care that she is suffering from severe B12def. and should not be sectioned again because she's had B12 treatment withdrawn...(tearing hair out at astounding arrogance of GPs obstruction and refusal to read or follow guidelines or research from the outset).
Something is very, very wrong with this country's test & drug based only system with complete disregard of a patient's history, symptoms and failing clinical condition, leading to unnecessary suffering and descent into loss of self....
It's a documentary series on line (free sign up) called 'Betrayal' presented by Dr Tom O'Bryan and other well known functional practitioners including Dr Kharrizian :
It gives the facts on why medication does not address the core solution behind autoimmune disease.
Each episode is only available for 24 hours though.
(I tried to post this before it began a couple of days ago but it looks like the link doesn't work in the post, only in 'reply' !)
