It is very possible... protein is not broken down properly in people using acid blocking drugs.

In fact vitamin B12 is not utilized normally either and these patients may develop low B12 levels leading to neurological problems. It would be a good idea to get her tested.

Anything lower than 400 should be supplemented. This is a general recommendation for all people over 50 in this country!

Don't accept "normal" from the doctor because low ranges are still reported here as "normal". Ask for the numbers.
