USA Online Support Group Meeting
All Things Iron: What Every B12 and Pernicious Anemia Patient Should Know
Guest Speaker: Lori Taylor, Clinical Dietitian, Professor, Author and AIG Researcher
Iron deficiency is a common concern among people with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and pernicious anemia, but understanding iron levels, interpreting lab results, and navigating supplementation can be confusing.
Join us for a special PAS Support Group session featuring Lori Taylor, who will help us explore the relationship between iron, B12, and autoimmune gastritis. We’ll discuss ferritin and other iron markers, iron deficiency with or without anemia, supplementation options, absorption challenges, and other questions that matter to our community.
This session will be driven by your questions! Lori will begin with a brief presentation, leaving most of our time together for an open Q&A. Bring your questions about all things iron!

I need advice, as I can not find a doctor knowledgeable regarding P.A. My P.A. has really advanced without maintenance and care and I have had nine endoscopy giant polyp, 8-15 cm, removals in the last 3 years. Now, they want to remove my stomach due to changing cells. They say my case is extremely rare, but I do not want my stomach removed unless it is necessary to avoid cancer metastasis. Please help! My appointment with the surgeon is Feb. 11th. I just found this site last night.
