Ferritin 21 (30 - 400)

Folate 1.8 (2.5 - 19.5)

Vitamin B12 196 (190 - 900)

Do these look ok thanks taking 5mg folic acid

[Gambit62 Administrator]

it looks like you have a problem absorbing nutrients from your food - as above indicates that your folate, iron and B12 levels are low.

Possibilities: PA, Coeliacs, H pylori infection, amongst other things

Thanks my GP is testing me for coeliac lately been having more lower stomach pain and feeling like burning/acid/sick in throat

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to Shannak]

sounds like could be low stomach acidity - which would be another thing that would lead to absorption problems - which could also be related to PA.

symptoms of low stomach acidity are pretty much the same as high stomach acidity.

Also hypothyroid/Hashimotos diagnosed this week and h pylori ruled out 2 years ago

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to Shannak]

well that ruled out h pylori two years ago but doesn't necessarily rule it out now.
