Hello PA Hive Mind! Newbie poster but have been researching my B12 def and also lurking here digesting all the amazing advice. I feel like I may have been misdiagnosed, and I now realise, probably undertreated and essentially left to languish for the last 4 years with worsening neuro symptoms and fatigue

Complete relief from daily pelvic / bladder / lower back pain and fatigue just 2 months after changing diet and using castor oil packs
I was diagnosed with endo in 2011 and have suffered the usual painful symptoms as well as chocolate cysts, and rectal bleeding shortly before my period. Over the years I found that eating very healthily kept many of my symptoms at bay. However, at Christmas I got flu and was very tired for some weeks

Intrinsic factor test was positive and parietal cells negative. As soon as I knew my B12 was slightly low and I have a family history of pernicious anaemia I used

If one doesn't have an intrinsic factor, will vitamin B 12 tablets be absorbed by the stomach?
