My ENT didn’t catch my Vitamin B12 deficiency. He thought it was resolved. But, no. I wasn’t processing it. Anyway, he suggested a Zinc supplement, which I did start taking. Then stopped. Good thing, because my neurologist said Zinc can cause problems. I didn’t ask more about it since he doesn’t want me on Zinc. It may be needed by some people.

Zinc can be good for foot odor. I've been taking it for years and don't have foot odor. You don't need much. I've been taking 30mg of zinc picolinate [from Swanson's Vitamins] twice a day and it works great for me. Even after 2 years my feet and shoes are pretty much odor free.

If you are not absorbing the B12, they make sub-lingual B12 which gets absorbed in your mouth, not the stomach. If you are taking something for GERD, that can cause your stomach to not absorb B12.
