Confused over b12/IFAb results - what to do next!
Hello nice people, I'm new here on PAS, I have posted on Thyroid UK before as I have hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's). I had some private tests done for thyroid levels which included vitamin checks too and they showed the following: 8/7/16 B12 serum 179.7pg/ml (191-663) Folate serum 9.61ug/L. (4.6-18.7

Natural Treatment
Hello to all. I was recently diagnosed with endometrias on both ovaries, endometriosis. I am looking towards natural remedies before attempting prescribed meds. Has anyone tried using systemic enzymes and castor oil packs? Did it relieve pain and/or reduce endometrial tissue?

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy came back "normal". What now?
Some advice needed please... Almost 2 years ago I was very symptomatic (brain fogs, tiredness, mouth ulcers etc), and had a B12 reading of 127 (range 180-900). I fought hard to get B12 injections. Tests for Intrinsic Factor and Parietal Cells came back negative and the Dr and haematologist have both

Hi everyone, I'm new here and had a couple questions. A little history..

Intrinsic Factor and Omeprazole
Morning All. Newly prescribed vitamin B compound strong tablets. To be honest I didn't know very much about B12 deficiency. Having now looked on the net and on reading members posts I can see how easily I dismissed symptoms and thank goodness for a GP whom I don't normally see checking my haemoglobin

VITAMIN DEFICIENCY with reference to B12, also PPI's
[Poster's comment:- The precise details given in this article regarding the physiological mechanisms involved in the transport and absorption of B12 are over-simplified; as far as IL patients are concerned. In particular there is a counter argument suggesting that the surgical reduction in the number

Kinda confused
I was tested for Intrinsic Factor in August, by GP previously gave me B12 and folic acid tablets. Due to my thyroid problems etc, all my blood results are posted on my patient access site so that I can see them. My IF is not there, when enquiring at the surgery I have had several conflicting answers:

Feeling worse but GP says test results fine.
Had blood test done via Blue Horizon. Showed B12 198 "insufficient". Tried B12 patches,which help, but effect lasts 3 days only. Returned to GP who repeated test for B12, Folate and supposedly intrinsic factor. Just phoned for results. Serum B12 299.8 ( I'd not used a patch or any supplements for week

Massively confused about RA diagnosis
Hi everybody! I am new here and also quite new to RA. I was just diagnosed July 1, 2016. I had joint pain that moved around for 3 years but I just chalked it up to sleeping wrong or something, only because I'm 30 (this started when I was 27) and I didn't even know what RA was. Well, the joint pain took

Will B12 patches affect blood test for Intrinsic Factor.
Saw GP yesterday. After going round in circles for some time he agreed a blood test for I.F. My B12 ( private blood test I had done as GP wasn't interested) showed 198. I bought some B12 patches and they've helped enormously but the effect only lasts for 2 days. Blood test for IF can't be done until

Frustration & Endoscopy wait
Hello everyone. I've been waiting a while for my intrinsic factor test result. Decided to chase up the doctors to see what was happening.
