B12 defiency... what else is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rule out celiac dis.: At your age, i think you are asking the appropriate question regarding your B12 deficiency, namely, what else is wrong. To require B12 injections at your age in the absence of any prior operations is not common. Celiac disease definitely needs to be ruled out. I'm attaching an article that addresses possible causes of B12 deficiency. www.localhealth.com/article/vitamin-b12-deficiency/causes.
