ibs or vit b12

i been suffrering for years with what i thought was just a nervous stomach,but after a miscarriage there started the pain  and another 3 miscarriages later and still in pain being told by my doctor it was just that i was unfit, i gave up until recently when i couldnt go to the gym as every time i go on the cardio machines i set the alarms off with a very high pulse rate, the pain in my abdominal area was so bad i was doubled up after eating certain things and had tiredeness, feeling low a lot of the time, a burning sensation on my toungue like i burnt it and dropping almost 17lbs in weight in just under 2 months due to severe diarrohea i thought the tiredness and forgetfulness was due to having 4 children and going back to work, my new doctor arranged for a scan to rule out kidney gall stones liver and spleen are all normal he said it sounds like a severe case of ibs, he done another blood test adding a few extra tests and discovered my vitamin b12 levels are low so i have been watching what i eat and am starting to take these tablets called cyanocobalamin 50 micrograms 1 a day that i got in a prescription through the post. does any one know anything about these tablets are they effctive what really happens when your vitb12 is low? is it still linked with ibs im very confused?
any helpwould be really good right now.
thanks

I have ibs or should i say i did. I am all about doing things the natural way, it is so much healthier. Try Monavie. It is a juice, it may sound silly, but it works! Only 4 ounces a day and in a few days you will be regular. Long term use of medications cause so many problems with the body and in order for me to keep up with my girls its vital that my body be in good health and not dependent on medication. Check out the website and look of monavie testimonals and see if you find answers to your questions. Let me know what you think. Just trying to get people healthy, thats all. Good luck. If i can help you in any way, let me know for I am a distributor for Mona Vie.
