Detailed Initial Evaluation We begin our process with a thorough assessment of the patients current health, including their medical history, any existing conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders, personal habits, metabolic rate, weight, and personal objectives for weight loss
This complex process means that conditions affecting the stomach or intestines can significantly impair B12 absorption, including pernicious anaemia, atrophic gastritis, previous gastric surgery, coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, and long-term use of certain medications (such as metformin, proton pump inhibitors, and H2 antagonists)
