In long term h pylori infection, vit b12 might be or is depleted. what test can be done to check if levels and presence of ifa? who checks b12 in csf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood test: There is no need to check B12 in csf. Blood test for B12 will suffice and almost all laboratories provide that service and your doctor can order that. You may wish to stop taking your 'supplements' and only resume those if okay with your doctor.
