Vit B12

good morning everyone, wondering if anyone here has experienced low vit b12. Had a note from my GP practice to say mine is quite low and I have an appointment for a phone consultation with my GP on 6th of Sept. Having had a quick google I’ve noticed it can be caused by ppi’s and I have been on a high dose of omeprazole.

Seems there’s always something round the corner with this disease doesn’t it, I’m starting to dread results!

Would be so grateful for any advice.🤗

Hi, I’ve had low vitamin B12 levels, I had a course of B12 injections which were given much the same as a flu or Covid jab. I was told it was absorbed by the body much better than tablet form, this returned my levels back to normal quite quickly. Good luck.
