What Causes Elevated B12, Low Folate And Low Ferritin?

What might cause elevated b12 (1439), low folate (10.2), and low ferritin (36)? My d3 used to be 19, but I've gotten it up to 50 thru supplementation (20,000 Iu under dr supervision). Is there anything I can do to get my b12 in range? Ps. I have abdominal issues, and went gluten free 1.5 yrs ago because of gluten sensitivity. I don't know if there is an absorption issue.

Hi,
Have you been put on B12 supplementation.That could be one of the causes. You need to take a more enriched diet with iron and folate supplements to improve your folate and ferritin.
