Fascinating! Hope that B-12 is working for you. I’ve heard of pernicious anemia but never knew the cause.

So...humans are designed to be meat eaters (how un-PC of them). I read once of a fanatical vegan putting the pet dog on a vegan diet. You can guess the tragic outcome, slow death from malnutrition.

Fiber from fruits & vegetables is good for you, but I have been Atkins-oriented for many years, minimizing breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, & sugar.

I call it the Al Sharpton diet: “White is not right!!”.

I meant to say that I hope that the B-12 supplements are working for you; I just looked up pernicious anemia & learned that it is an autoimmune disease, which is indeed pernicious since the body’s defenses are turned against it.

My first wife died at 49 from complications of multiple sclerosis in which the treatments themselves weakened what was left of her immune system. Bacterial infection eventually led to a cerebral hemorrhage.

I am therefore sympathetic to autoimmune sufferers. Best of luck.
