If you have a lot of heartburn that you choose to treat yourself with OTC antacids, you should pay a visit to your doctor, especially if you are feeling tired. Did you know that chewing a lot of antacids can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency? Antacids interfere with the absorption of vitamin B12. The occasional antacids are not what we are talking about here. This is referring to those who are continually chewing antacids and not checking in with their doctors.
A deficiency of vitamin B12 causes fatigue and according to Danine Gruge, MD, associate medical director of the Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa in Miami, Florida, this deficiency is often found in persons who don't eat much animal protein.
