Hi Ellie2425

What did your doctor say when he gave you the results and you told him your symptoms?

Are you in the U.K?

I'm not a medically trained person but there are others on here who will be able to advise you.

Hi Ellie, I am a bit confused with the symptom list. What symptoms are you experiencing? Your list looks like it was copied, how would you know you had "Decreased stomach acid"?

Your B12 result looks low. From your other posts I see that you are taking 200mcg of levothyroxine, 5mg folic acid and you may have Hashimoto's disease?
