A member asked:

Will taking biotin or b12 make my pancreas hurt, i've had pancreatitis before.i've also had my gallbladder removed and have a low thyroid.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It shouldn't hurt: Biotin deficiency is rare, but can occur in persons with genetic mutations, on long-term antibiotics or anti-convulsants, or who eat a lot of raw egg whites. There is no good evidence that larger doses of biotin supplement are needed, because normal people eating a regular, balanced diet should get enough of it from their foods. Various disorders can cause B12 deficiency and the need for more B12.
