Did anyone gain weight and have trouble losing weight during the years before diagnosis and lost weight once B was restored?

No, but i may be experincing the oppisite... been PA all my life, and always been 6-7 stone despretaley trying to gain whieght (i should be 9 -10 docs say) now im on a much more regular and better dose ove stopped at 8 - 8.5 and even have a little belly developing (maybe my gastly rivs will disappear) but i geuss there must be some corrilation between PA treatmebt and wieght/digestion... or maybe its just because its fixed my lifelong IBS (well none food effected IBS if that makes sense)

Short answer.....yes.

I gained before diagnosis of b12 deficiency.(Approx 2 stones). From 11.5 to 13.5 stones.

After going on injections I lost that excess weight without. I don’t know if that was due to increased activity due to increase in energy levels, but no exercise or major diet change.

Sorry for the mistake, I meant without exercise or diet change. I’m sure it’s something to do with B12.

I posted a question on here about B12 and weight loss about a year ago.
