> In my own case, I had recurrent parasthesia for years. I had gum problems. I had impaired smell. I had wheezing. I had fatigue. And I was on Prilosec for GERD. Given the dependency of B12 uptake on stomach pH below 3.0, and the effect of the proton-pump inhibitor, I put 2 and 2 together and got 11-teen. ;-)

> BTW, what I have discovered is that my GERD may have been *caused* by pre-existing B12 deficiency in the first place. The connection is complex....and it is my hypothesis, not one from another source....Gotta love these downward spirals in complex systems, eh?
