• Digestive disorders such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine or even parasites.
• Weight Loss Specific Surgery such as gastric bypass.
• Certain medications, such as diabetes medications like Metformin, and long-term use of proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec, Prevacid or Nexium commonly prescribed for conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux and GERD.
• Vegetarian or Vegan Diets, since Vitamin B-12 is found almost exclusively in animal foods.
• Pernicious Anemia; this causes a decrease in the number of red blood cells which develops when the body lacks the intrinsic factor necessary to naturally absorb vitamin B-12 available in the foods that we eat.
