Should Vit-B12 And Folic Acid Be Taken For Big RBCs?
Hello, I am a healthy woman, 75, 120 pounds 5'2 and my red blood cell are bigger than they use to be, said the doctor a few day's ago. The iron is perfect. I use to drink 1 glass of red wine before dinner and I eat a lot of vegetable and fruits an a less meat. Should I stop drinking wine and having more food with B12 and acid folic? Rachel
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have macrocytic rbcs. Its due to either vit b12 or folic acid deficiency. Or it may be due to alcohol. You should stop taking alcohol. Just check your serum B12 level once and take vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements according to your doctor's advice. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
