Sub-optimal B12, folate and copper can cause both hematological and central nervous/cognitive issues.
Hi Marlene, He's been on B12 shots for a couple of years now. His last labs said his B12 was in the 900 range. His last shot was only two weeks ago so I expect his B12 is fine.

His folate was over 20 (that was in October). Don't see anything about copper, but he does take a multi-vitamin every day.

No OTC meds for reflux.
