Can you recommend B12 deficiency specialist?

Cry for help - can anyone recommend a gastroenterologist or a haematologist consultant with special interest in B12 deficiency? Ideally someone you had personal experience with in London/South East? I am borderline B12 deficient at the moment and was also quite deficient couple years ago. I’m also experiencing neurological symptoms but my GP won’t prescribe B12 injections as anti-intrinsic factor and MMA normal. Thank you.

I don't know of any specialists but Boots will give you a jab for £29

Thank you. I’d need a loading dose and a pharmacy won’t do that without a prescription.

Just take high strength daily oral supplements? If your IF is normal and no gastro issues then that should be all you need.

Look up Dr Klein. If you’re on Facebook try the B12 wake up group for lots of info.
