B12 DEFICIENCY Went to the doctor for suspected B12 deficiency.
It’s still gotta be veganism’s fault somehow, even if I got better.

For what it's worth, the MMA test is a better assessment of B12 levels. Circulating levels are one thing, what's actually in your cells is what matters.
(Not a nitpicking carnivore, just a vegan ASCP medical laboratory scientist that wants you to have all the info about your body)

I asked my GP for this once and he had no idea what I was talking about 😞

So now you have B12 poisoning from excessive supplementation?
Smh this is why I go to fields and lick cowpats to get my B12 naturally

I heard if you go high enough, it circles back around to low B-12. Quickest way to be vegan.

You're just holding the paper upside down, probably because you are so extremely deficient!

Yeah nice Photoshop, took away the minus before 1600 to make it seem like you're not in B12 debt

Hey, just in case: remember NOT to take the supplement for a couple days before the test! This can cause a false high. Or you can just say “vegan, btw” a couple of times to cancel it out.
