Well done Cheslie and thank you for updating us

Did your GP tell you to stop the folic acid until after the B12 investigations? If not then please check this with the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum, I believe that folic acid should be started after investigations into B12 so they will tell you if you should stop your folic acid for now

Don't forget to follow the advice in your other thread about D3's important cofactors, and after your coeliac test then addressing the Hashi's with a gluten free diet. Also remember to keep your iron tablets 4 hours away from thyroid meds and 2 hours away from other meds and supplements.

Don't start all supplements together. Start with one, give it a week or two and if no reaction then add in the second one, give it another week or two and if no reaction add in the next one, etc. By doing it this way, if you do have any reaction you will know what caused it.
