My 3.5yr old experiencing neuropathy in feet, test came back w/elevated b12, all other blood work looks normal. why b12 up? what else should we test?

Discuss with MD: Warrants a neurological evaluation as well, the elevation may be from increased flora often seen with probiotic use, but would still be rare, since the neuropathies are more often seen with deficiency, there is concern regarding absorption. Yes this warrants further investigation.
