Suggest Treatment For B12 Deficiency
Have had an endoscopy last year. Had duodenal ulcers. Already had treatment. No h pylori but detected with B12 deficiency. Had been given shots. Not in any medication since January. Recently having bloating and gas and lightheaded feeling after food. Should I start on pantocid and can I take B supplements as well. As travelling tomorrow for 3 weeks and cannot visit a gastric surgeon

Hello,
This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question.
I would recommend to use Pantocid 20-40 mg once/day before meals, and the vitamin B supplements 3 times/day. Both are safe medicines, with few side effects.
Another advise I would add, very important, is to eat small amounts many times during the day, so to avoid the stomach being empty.
Hope this helps,
Regards.
