Can Low Vitamin B 12 Contribute To Bulging Of Stomach?

Hey my 16 year old daughter just got diagnosed with fructose malsorption and bacterial overgrowth. She also has b12 level of 200. She will be starting shots every day for five days then one a week for four weeks then one a month for four months. They want her on a diet that is low in sugar to stave the bacteria in her stomach. We also have her on probiotics fennel seed and pepermint oil herbs. Her stomach bloats and she has destintion. She is a very small bone farm but has gained some weight. A lot if it s water weight. She only weight 113 but her stomach sticks out like she s pregnant so that is very embarrassing to her. Can the low b12 contribute to any of her symptoms?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But your vitamin B12 level is not responsible for any of her symptoms. Her symptoms may be due to malabsorption of fructose. So take complete treatment for that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish
you a very good health.
