Q. I have been a vegetarian for last 10 years and an ocassional drinker. Lately i am experiencing many b12 deficiency symptoms - tingling in hands/legs, chapped lips, canker sores, fatigue, drowsiness etc. I have started eating 2 eggs and drinking one litre milk daily. Is it possible to treat it this way or should I get vitamin capsules?
A. Nope...eating foods containing B vitamins only maintains good levels of B12. When you have a defiency it is a lot harder to treat with diet aline, you need to have the supplements....your doctor may even suggest a B12 injection.

Q. i've been really tired lately and losing weight, i weigh around 99lbs. i used to weigh 125lbs. i get really shakey and need to carry food with me. i get out of breath.and my hair is getting so dry and thin. i've said something to my doctor about the weight and he said you look fine, but i don't think it's normal to lose weight for no reason and i just don't feel well and i look awful too. i know taking medicine for reflux can cause vitamin b12 deficiency and i take nexium for years.
A. Sudden unexplained weight loss should always be investigated to find out the cause, especially if you also feel tired and shaky. Your doctor will want to check you for diabetes, overactive thyroid gland, hidden infections, and other causes of weight loss. He or she will probably arrange blood tests and a chest x-ray. Don't put off going - the sooner the cause is found, the sooner you can be treated and on the way to recovery.
Sometimes weight loss can be a sign of a depressive illness, and your doctor will want to know how you are feeling emotionally. In the meantime, try to eat a healthy diet. It can help to keep a food diary for a few days to see exactly what you are eating. Healthy between-meal-snacks such as fruit, muesli, smoked salmon sandwiches, and cheese can help you put on weight. High-carb foods such as rice, pasta and bread are also a good idea. good luck
