Does a lack of intrinsic factor prevent iron absorption?
Does a lack of intrinsic factor prevent the absorption of iron too or is it simply B12? If so what would be the best way to get iron into the body and does anyone know of any decent iron supplements that are readily absorbed? Thank you all for any help

Help with iron panel results please?
I have had a test at the surgery which has come back normal but thought I’d check here? As I don’t understand it and I understand that ferritin is important but that you shouldn’t just take iron if your iron count is good but how do you increase only the ferritin ? Thanks 😊 Ferritin 79. Range 11

Could I still have low iron?
I haven’t yet returned to normal since my low iron diagnosis and iron infusion treatment in October. All my tests are coming back good or normal. My mean cell value is 86.7 [80-100] Ferritin 276 [10-300] As my MCV is low in the range, could this indicate that my red blood cells are still small? I’m still

Vit B12 and diarrhoea
How well is the link between Vit B12 and diarrhoea understood? Does it just amount to observation that people with Vit B12 deficiency can have diarrhoea. This link: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/pernicious-anemia. "Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency involve the digestive tract. These

Signs of B12 deficiency in the mouth
Hi All, I posted most of this on another thread but thought I'd start my own thread in case someone found it useful. Sometimes the route to diagnosis of B12 deficiency can involve other health professionals besides GPs. If you have a GP who won't listen to your concerns about B12 deficiency maybe other

Bloods Show Lots of Deficiencies
Hey, I’m new to the site and as some of you seem to have some really good knowledge I’m hoping you might be able to help me. I had a little girl 3 years ago and since then, my health has been really poor- always having infections or needing medication for something. I found out I had underactive thyroid

How can i fix anxiety ?
I can't get rid of anxiety, other than antidepressants(ssri) ??? I've been on cipralex for a while and I don't want to go back on it, it has too many side effects. Although I take t3 and levo but I still have anxiety and visual disturbance. t3 helped me a lot but I don't get rid of anxiety.My doctor

New Diagnostic Methods for PA
I found this online today here, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK540989/ It describes new methods of diagnosing PA. It looks interesting. Alternative and new approaches to the diagnosis of PA are under evaluation. One of these is a newer propriety cobalamin absorption test, which has its basis

Iron supplementation - ferric EDTA
I’ve started researching which form of Iron is best to take but would appreciate anyone who is able to forward any studies they’ve come across. Anything I’ve started to read has allowed no further access to information. Wanting to try the Better You Iron 10 spray (contains ferric EDTA) as tablets

B12, Folate & Iron
My B12 was 375 (211-911) & folate 8.6 (5.4-20.0). Been having symptoms so am trying to raise these levels. Taking B12 1000ug sublingual & a B complex. Apparently whilst raising B12 levels due to the increasing production of red blood cells your iron/ferritin levels can drop? If we need to take iron supplements

Low haemoglobin and iron tablets
I’m not sure where to post this. I had an operation where I suffered a bleed resulting in low haemoglobin. I had 2 blood transfusions and iron infusion. I was then given iron tablets. But my haemoglobin is back to normal now. All my iron results are high and my folate in low normal. Awaiting more blood
