When I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia, I noticed that my stomach would distend after almost every meal and I would remain full longer than usual. The issue subsided once I started on the injections, but when I was put on the vitamin to maintain, I noticed the old issue of stomach distention reappeared and I gained weight instead of losing. Is there a correlation. Did the lack of an intrinsic factor destroy some enzyme needed for proper digestion of food. I have no idea, and would appreciate any clues, ect..
Sorry to be so long with a reply. I did not do it right.
I don’t have any digestion problem. My recent intrinsic factor test was 22.6. I have taken monthly B12 injections for 13 months. My symptoms are: aching, neuropathy in hands and feet, some spinal cord deterioration, awkwardness in feet and hands, fatigue.
