Glad to be here and thanks for this forum. I was diagnosed few years ago. I was having left abdominal pain that goes and comes which prompted colonoscopy,ct scan abdominal and urogram. All came back normal. After all the tests I was diagnosed with ibs. So I have been on probiotic and stomach relaxant drug,which I took for like 2 months. I also started treatment 5 months now for hepb with 7124 iu/ml viral load normal lft. Placed on tdf,but I noticed weight loss and itching,could this be from tdf?all these didn’t happen before commencement of tdf and lft was normal too before tdf but recent lft showed slightly elevated alt of 42 borderline 40.
Ultrasound,fbc, (these done in February afp,cea and calprotectin in normal range too) as well as kidney egfr 125. Hepatologist performed fibroscan for me about two weeks ago,with 4.6kpa, said no problem and also ordered vitd3 and b12 assay test.
Vitd3 18 ng/ml
B12. >1476. Range. >138
Still waiting to hear from the dr.but what could be the cause of high b12,I am eating well. I don’t smoke nor drink. Checking online I saw several bad things about high b12. After 3 months of using tdf viral load is undetectable…
