Lipo B12 injections work differently than oral B12 supplements
Infections and acute illnesses , including viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, or antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, may coincidentally occur when someone has recently started B12 supplementation
This complex process means that conditions affecting the stomach or intestines can significantly impair B12 absorption, including pernicious anaemia, atrophic gastritis, previous gastric surgery, coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, and long-term use of certain medications (such as metformin, proton pump inhibitors, and H2 antagonists)
