Levels too low and serum b12 isn't a very reliable test. I have neuropathy in legs with a serum B12 of 575 and folate of 8.9. High homocysteine. Genetic issues can also play a part.

You have to take the right types for your body. Are you taking methylfolate or folinic acid? Also a methylated b12?
@harlan334013 жыл бұрын
You slipped up by calling folates folic acid which is a synthetic folate. They are not m etabolized the same way in the methylation cycle.

Thank you doctor for the helpful and very informative video. I am a heterogeneous MTHFR and Talasemia carrier, difficient in Folate and.B12, because of my attrofic gastritis. Recently I am taking 5 -Mthf and B12 shots. Do i have to take these medications for the rest of my life? I am watching the video from Albania. Much obliged.

Yes you would with those genetic issues. Cut out gluten though in your gut might get better. All of my gut issues went away when I stopped eating gluten.
Great question! Folic acid supplements do not affect the absorption of B12

Thank you very much Doctor for the great information. As far as I understood the underlying course of my health problem is the immune system. Is there a way to improve or boost my immune system?

B12 deficiency can be treated with ''Oral pills'' or ''Nasal Spray'' ? Does this not just increase the serum B12 ? How do Oral pills work if there are absorption issues. ? & how successful is Nasal spray. ?
@iMedSchool4 жыл бұрын
Even when absorption is impaired there is some absorption that still occurs. Using oral pills at high doses makes sure that the body absorbs as much B12 as it can even with its reduced capacity. Also oral B12 will only work for some conditions. Nasal spray can be effective as it bypasses the intestinal tract, but it is not covered well by insurance companies in my experience. Supplementing the B12 is just increasing serum B12 and does not address the underlying issue/cause. Unfortunately many, but not all, of the causes for B12 deficiency are permanent or do not have a treatment.

Sorry, guy. Your b12 snd folate levels are way low. My b12 is 500 and my folate is 10. My dr told me they are both on the low end of normal. B 12 should be 800 and folate 15.

My mom's h pylori was fixed by taking slippery elm bark everyday. That's the only that finally got rid of it. She was treated by her gastroenterologist for years.
