did anyone ever hear of ppi’s and h2-blockers preventing the body from fully absorbing vitamin b12?? someone told me this, and than i looked it up. can this be possible? should we have them on a supplement?

My mom has been on ppi’s and h2 blockers for 10 years, never needed any kind of b12 supplement..Specifically she’s has taken Zantac and takes prevacid.

Sounds like an interesting one for some of us to ask the Drs when we see them- B12 is a pretty important nutrient in the brain!!!!

I found this interesting article written on by a woman from the yahoobreastfeedingreflux group:

She read the book “Could it Be B12?” by Sally M. Pacholok, RN and Jeffrey J. Stuart, DO. She mentions that a urine test is important rather than a blood test (it seems that doctors routinely do blood tests)
