Malabsorption
About 6 weeks ago I had a whole heap of blood tests prior to surgery. I never did get results from the surgeon so I assumed that the results were normal. Today I went to my GP and found out that I have low vitamin A, low vitamin B12 (again), continuing low vitamin D (despite taking D3 capsules twice a day).
I'm also taking a multi vitamin (without iron).
In the last 6 weeks I have had complications from surgery and had to be fed through a NJ tube for a couple of weeks so I'm assuming my vitamin levels will be even lower now.
I'm starting to wonder how much of my bone marrow problems are caused by ongoing deficiencies not just the copper deficiency. I've never heard of vitamin A deficiency before.
