I read that it works even if you don’t have intrinsic factor (so even if you don’t have normal gut absorption, which would mean no more shots. Apparently it came out a month or two ago. Has anyone tried it??

Hi Abby

It could possibly be a bacterial overgrowth, however, the surgical procedure you have undergone can also affect nutrient absorption. Your doctor and the surgeon who conducted this procedure will be better suited to advise you further. You may need to work with a dietitian as well for a suitable eating plan.

I also have slow motility and am very underweight. Could this be due from bacteria in my small intestines, and if so what can I do? Thanks Abby
