Many drugs deplete B12...metformin for diabetes and all the acid blocking drugs for GERD and heartburn are the most common ones. So many people today (new estimates are 40% may be low)...have this problem and doctors remain clueless and don't think of it!
Thanks for this! I do take an acid blocker, as reflux triggers my asthma, so this could well be a factor. I'll add it to my growing list of questions for my gp!
