A member asked:

Have crohn's, vit d deficient and take prescription for it. vit b12 is usually low due to crohn's, this time was >2,000, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supplementation?: are you supplementing with B12? If so you might need to cut back. If yor disease is in better control you might be absorbing better
