Stomach Acid and B12


MH,

Controversial subject is B12...I know your stance...I know what vegans say, I know what meat eaters say...

Well here is my story. I went vegan for 4 months last summer, then I started having severe B12 deficiency (weak, poor concentration, cracks in tongue and sides of mouth. Im not saying its from lack of meat, but I have had low stomach acid for a while and from what I know, even the fruitarian out there say you have to have some gastric juice to make intrinsic factor to abosrb B12...

Low stomach acid might sound good but I understand that is allows pathogenic bacteria and yeast to get to places they shouldnt...like SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) is really the underlying issue with crohns disease...and they steal your B vitamins and cause malabsorption etc.

I have had SIBO issues for a while and when they overgrow...I know they are screwing with my B12, because I get gassy and weak feeling, cant concentrate...so i take antibacterial herbs and LBB and it knocks them down again, while sticking to a monosaccaride type carb diet.

Well the other argument for B12 is its made by bacteria in the colon and stored in the liver...

I have suspected since I know my liver still has issues and Im working on the colon..maybe theres a connection?

I really really like the idea of as you say 'human food diet' of fruits and nuts, vines, trees etc

BUT i did really try it and when i started to add a little meat in small amounts...and taking herbs to assist the digestion...my symptoms improved

Not trying to argue...I really want to believe in the fruitatian way...

any advice?

also...tesosterone is still up and down...after the liver is totally back on line do the sex hormones regulate?

I saw in colon book, Doc. says hormone imbalance is congested colon...your thoughts?

Thanks
