Taking vitamin C/acsorbic acid with your meals will increase the absorption of iron from your foods. If you like spinach salads, or any leafy greens, try adding lemon juice to the dressing.

Anything with tannins in it, like coffee, tea, red wine, will decrease the uptake of iron. So you don't want to drink these with your meals all the time.

B12 deficiency results in many problems--neurological, hematological, musculoskeletal . . .often, the symptoms are subtle and inspecific at first, but over time become more pronounced.

The good thing is that B12 deficiency can almost always be easily treated, and these days it can be treated through oral supplementation cheaply, without constant visits for B12 injections. But the recovery from B12 deficiency can be long and involve various relapses and remissions, peaks and valleys, as the body used it for rebuilding and then attempts to rebuild stores.

Hi, I've had a very painful last two days. I will get back to you with the labs.
Thanks!
