B12 & gastropareisis --

[Guest guest]

,

I was looking for something else entirely, and came across a study in which

it was mentioned that Vitamin B12 supplementation may be beneficial for a

subset of people suffering from indigestion: those with delayed emptying of

the stomach contents in association with Helicobacter pylori infection and

low blood levels of vitamin B12. In a double-blind study of people who

satisfied those criteria, treatment with vitamin B12 significantly reduced

symptoms of dyspepsia and improved stomach-emptying times.

The specific study was

Gumurdulu Y, Serin E, Ozer B, et al. The impact of B12 treatment on gastric

emptying time in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. J Clin

Gastroenterol 2003;37:230–3.

This might be something for you to check out.
