I am B12 deficient & take shots. The removal of dairy & red meat from the diet should not be blamed for lack of vitamin B12, though. Soy foods/milk is fortified with B12. Fish, incidentally is an EXCELLENT source of B12, by the way. Therefore, Heather's diet has tons of vitamin B12 opportunities in it!I just don't absorb it effectively.

B12 is crucial in forming hemoglobin. Folate functions in synch with B12. Many deficient in B12 are also deficient in folate/folic acid (I was!) Before I knew that I was deficient and was prescribed shots, I was beyond tired & depressed, without energy. Seriously, I couldn't get off the sofa.

Kate, IBS-D.
