Raised MMA result
Hi everyone Have written before about my low active B12 results(medichecks). Latest one had been 36.7 (37.5~188). My previous 3 were slowly dropping from 60s to 50s to 40s. Advised to do MMA by medichecks. Eventually afforded one last week which came back high 38.5 (<32). They are now suggesting

If taking B12 supps skew's PA Intrinsic Factor test, does it do the same for Gastric Parietal Cell AB too?
Hi Everyone, Im a bit out of my depth here and wondered if you could help please. Ive taken B Complex for nearly 25 years, I do wonder whether serum levels have always been scuppered, as I read again that to do a credible PA , MMA test I needed to be off B12 for minimum 4- 6 moths , possibly longer

Zypan?
Hi everyone. Just wondering if anybody here is taking Zypan or have taken it before? Just watched a really helpful video from Dr Berg on YouTube on PA where he mentions this helps to absorb B12 if there is a lack of intrinsic factor

New diagnosis
Hi there, I got I'll from glandular fever in my late teens and have been given different diagnosis over the years and now I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis. I'm hopefully going to start sulfasalazine and just wondered has this been successful for people? I've been so fatigued for so long,

AUTOIMMUNE LIVER BLOODS
I am new to this community and have found some useful information here. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency of 158 last August, had various tests plus B12 repeated on 17 January and this time my B12 came back at 147. My GP says it’s borderline but from what I’ve read hear it’s low, he did further bloods

Bone profile?
Hi, could anyone tell me what the doctor means by bone profile? Recently had tests for B12 deficiency, got a telephone call a few days later asking me to come back in for them to do more tests. Said my bone profile was low, and mentioned something about potentially low vitamin d. Apparently my b12 is

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Been tested for
rheumatoid
factor
, negative result. What is reliability of
test
? Anti-CCP negative. C-reactive protein (CRP) low in range. The change in the shape of my knees and my shoulders are alarming to me. They seem to protrude? But I don’t experience specific pain in these areas.

Thought about Intrinsic factor
Okay, so I've been thinking a lot about this, but if you no longer have intrinsic factor why would your body continue to make antibodies to intrinsic factor. I'm wondering about this as I keep getting tested by doctors for IF antibodies with no success, but I was told 15+ years ago when I was diagnosed

Supplement Help Please
Hello, First time writing and being on the forum so I apologise if this question has asked before. I have been diagnosed with PA for just over a year and a half and have 3 monthly B12 injections. Around the second month after the B12 injection I get a massive drop off. I get a metallic taste in my mouth
