::: warning on B12 :::       10/06/04 10:11 AM Edit Reply Quote KellyAndersson Reged: 03/24/04 Posts: 272 Loc: N.California The vegan diet will put you at risk for B12 deficiency, but if you have intestinal troubles, you can get low on B12 even eating lots of meats and dairy. The only place in your whole system that will absorb dietary B12 is the lower portion of the upper intestine (get it?). The lower portion of my upper intestine is GONE! (surgery) so I'm sorta screwt for B12 and have to have a shot every month. (Fortunately I can do it myself so it doesn't cost me a dr. visit every month.) If you get pretty low on B12 you will feel really bad, and it doesn't take long at all and some PERMANENT nerve damage can set in. This is not something to mess about with. If in doubt at all, get some blood drawn and hike it to the lab and have your B12 checked. Before I started the shots, my lab results came back so low that my doc said she was surprised I could even stand up. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
