Hello,
I need some advice from a qualified
person.
I have had ulcers for some time and am
currently on medications.
Listing my findings:
Reflux esophagatis with esophageal ulcer,
antral gastritis, and duodentis.
Now, I have all the medications and have
been on treatment for about 1 month..
My problem other than the daily discomfort
is super light headedness and not being
able to focus.. pins and needles in
fingers and feet and a few more "vitamin
b12 deficiency" type characteristics.. I
have searched the net for possible reasons
and so am now on also daily injections of
vitamin b12.. (as taking capsules while on
medication is useless)..
Im not sying I know everything on this
subject, but I know eneougt to know what
to east for high levels of vitamin b12
deficiency, like cows liver, vegetables
etc..
so.. I am looking after that deficiency,
but the "head spins" and dizzyness and a
type of dementia / forgetfullness /
unbalanced in walking is still there and
has been bad for the last few days.. Even
to write this and concentrate is
exhausting work.
I have a feeling of dizzyness that runs up
my back and into my brain and I feel close
to blackout often and am worried I have
something else wrong with me that could be
serious.. I have had all the relevant
checks and I am told the rest of me is
perfect....
Since I found out about my ulcers, i gave
up smoking 2packs a day for 25 years to
nil, never drink coffee, do not drink
alcohol and have been living on steamed
vegetables and healthy foods in general..
breakast is usually bran and banana with
milk.. lunch is fresh type food and so is
dinner..
I have really turned into a health nut
also and go to the gym etc.. Ive gone from
living a party life to a "priest" type
existence over the last few months..
I feel good somedays, but the dizzyness
and many other uncoordinated feelings on
mind and body is worrying me terribly..
Please give me any advice that can help..
I live in thailand and the doctor /
patient relationship is not like the rest
olf the western world and a lot gets lost
in translation.
My current medication is this:
Ganaton: 50 mg morning and night
Prevacid FDT 3 30mg morning and night
Motilium - m10 mg m3 times a day.
Please please help, Im at my wits end..
diets, naturepath or any advice.. It is
literally driving me crazy..
thanks so much.

Deficiency of Vitamin B-12 is manifested
with anemia and neurological symptoms
including cognitive like yours. Chronic
gastritis can cause Vitamin B12 deficiency
because it disturbs its absorption in the
intestines. In such cases Vitamin B12 can
be taken only with a shot. No diet can
help because the vitamin can't be absorbed
from the intestines because of the chronic
gastritis.
Brain lesions from Vitamin B12 deficiency
can be revealed with MRI scan. You can
consult some gastroenterologist and
neurologist about your problem.
