A vitamin B12 deficiency can cause numerous problems for individuals and symptoms can arise over time, gradually. In addition to digestive tract issues (gas, bloating, constipation) a person can also have other symptoms of a B12 deficiency. Some of these symptoms can include: yellowing skin, depression, irritability, decline in mental abilities, pins and needles feeling and a sore tongue and mouth ulcers. If a person is experiencing any of these symptoms, they are encouraged to visit their local GP where a blood test can be administered to diagnose and begin treatment.
