If you are not getting the high B6 levels from your food intake do you drink energy drinks? A lot of people don't read the labels close enough but they are a major source of high levels of B6.

I do not drink energy drinks of any type. I drink water. I’m 72 years old and six months ago, an endoscopy showed an ulcer so I’ve been on an even more basic diet for that. My diet was already pretty basic, as I’m trying to get my gastrointestinal system right through foods. my body really doesn’t love medication and if there is a side effect to be had, I will have it. I don’t eat red meat, I eat a little chicken, but honestly, I’m so weary of it I don’t eat much of that either. I live in Nevada, so finding good fish is close to impossible, so that’s a no also. For a while I was eating a lot of tuna, but I got tired of that, too. I take no supplements at all. I take one blood pressure medication and one statin and that’s it. So it seems that wherever I am getting vitamin B6, my body wants to store it for some reason. Does that sound like reasonable thinking?
