Activia has only special one probiotic. Kefir has TWELVE different strains, a more complete source.
You should see results in the B12 within 3 months. Maybe sooner.
Don't take any for 5-7 days before your test, so you will get a better picture of your normal level.
And yes it will work, with Protonix. The B12 orally is passively absorbed even when intrinsic factor cannot work due to low acid.
It has to be taken on an empty stomach with no food present, so it can reach the lining of the intestine and not be absorbed into food.
