low on b12? macrosytosis after years on carnivore?
I’m trying to understand why I previously had anemia with macrocytosis, while my hemoglobin has now recovered
but my MCV is still bad .
i can only be low on b12 then, but how if i do carnivore for a lot of years?
should i test on b12?, test is reliable?
