Deepak:
I don't take stomach acid reducers and i used to eat meat a lot.
However if we talk about genetic flaws - Yes my mother and grand mother both had indigestion, bloating issues. but not any neurological issues signs.
In fact my all (2) brothers continuous have stomach related issues and also no neurological issues signs.
Things i would like to mention is,
I have a birth defect 'spina bifida' at spine level C7 - T1.
My Folate Serun on 12/31 was : 22.1 ng/mL
Question 1. what tests i should suggest my Doctor to see if i have any kind of Autoimmune issues, MTHFR ?
