Hello John Cottingham, In a response to Marcia you said that a B12 deficiency could complicate dysphagia. I'm a vegaterian (no meat and very small amounts of milk products and eggs.) Even tho I take a low dose multi-vitamin that has B12 I still worry about not getting enough B12 or getting the wrong kind. Could you tell me how a B12 deficiency could effect a Parky? A worried, Diane Turner PS Your posts to this list have been a great help. Thank you. -- Diane Turner [log in to unmask]
