===================================

What is the age of this child? What other health factors does this child

suffer from? When was this child diagnosed with celiacs? What all does

his diet consist of? Other than fiber, which lentils are very high in,

they are also quite high in folate (folic acid) and phosphorous. Folic

acid is tied very closely to B-12. The body needs both. Lack of folic

acid will mimic B-12 deficiency. Sorry for all the questions but there

is too little to go on here other than what I mentioned.
