Hello. We recently tested my sons bloods he has hashimoto, takes Levo. However recent bloods have flagged up a B12 deficiency
B12 34.5……Range 37.5-188.
He will make an appointment with his Gp but any advice would be greatly appreciated. The wonderful admins on the thyroid group suggested it Could be pernicious anaemia, as most folks usually have more than 1 autoimmune disorder.

It was an active b12 test through medichecks. I don’t have it to hand at the minute to check the measurements used.
I will push for a IFAB blood test. He has been at uni and although he knows how to cook and has good nutritional knowledge, he may well have been lapse with his diet. However the RDA is only 2.4ug/day it’s not hard to achieve.
Of course yes, I had forgotten about absorbing nutrients from foods, and with hashimoto low stomach acid can be an issue! Mmm alcohol that’s interesting I didn’t know it had that affect.
He’s had much to contend with in his short life regarding his health, as a mum it hurts.
His symptoms, when he came home in the summer from uni he said he felt very tired, but it wasn’t relieved with sleep. Hence the testing of thyroid and co factors! I’ve asked him to take a look at b12 symptoms see if any apply.
