I'd continue with your methylB12 and be sure to take on an empty stomach.

The antibodies you mention attack the cells that make intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor binds to B12 in food and helps with its absorption. Acid is required to release the B12 from animal proteins, first. Autoimmune disease is sometimes a sign of gluten intolerance. So it might be a good idea to be tested for that as well.

Did your doctor mention low acid in your stomach as well?
Thank you very much mrsD for your suggestions. I have been taking methyl B12 on empty stomach.
No, doctor didn't mention about low acid. I will ask when I see the doctor next time.
