Negative PA Test - way forward
I had a low
Vitamin
B12
(125 mg/L) and low folate. One of my symptoms was severe pins and needles - particularly my legs, feet and genital areas. I had 4 loading doses of b12, followed by a further 2 at my request. I started folate tablets after 2 jabs. I had a IF test which came back negative.

Great blog post on B12 and videos from Prof Bruce HR Wolffenbuttel
The professor is probably well known to forum members from his frequently referenced paper, "The Many Faces Of Cobalamin (
Vitamin
B12
) Deficiency" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6543499/ He also writes a blog.

symptoms with treated PA
My general query is; are there consequences and symptoms connected to a lack of stomach acid/intrinsic factor other than the inability to absorb
vitamin
b12
? Such as loose stools, bloating and ibs. Also, is the ability to absorb iron, vitamin D and folic acid affected?
