I have been suffering from recurrent oral ulcers since December. Currently, only two marks remain. I have consulted a dentist, general physician, and ENT surgeon. All said these are aphthous ulcers. Blood tests are normal, and biopsy was not recommended. My Vitamin B12 is now 271 after taking B12 injections and Rinifol. There is no pain like before, but the ulcers persist. What can I do to get rid of this problem permanently?

If ulcers persist despite treatment, try allergy or gut acid triggers. Maintain oral hygiene, avoid spicy food. Biopsy only if it worsens.

I recently received my Vitamin B12 test report, and the result is 113 pg per mL, which is quite low. I had this test done because I have been feeling low on energy for a long time.

Can a person with vitamin B12 deficiency follow keto diet?

My wife has been experiencing burning sensations in her feet. On investigation, we found that her Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are low. She is a pure vegetarian and does not consume eggs. Could these vitamin deficiencies be the cause of her problem? I am attaching the report for your review.
