Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There is an increase in RDW (red blood cell diameter width) due to iron deficiency.

She is on a purely vegetarian diet and will not be able to supply sufficient amount of vitamin B12.

All tingling sensations are due to low levels of B12 and iron.

It is advisable to have at least two egg whites per day.

I suggest you take tablet folic acid once daily for one month before meals or food and tablet Becosules (multivitamin) one tablet in the evening daily for one month. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines.

When taken with food, it will alter iron absorption which may not be sufficient for the body. An excess amount of taking antacids will affect the absorption of vitamin B12.
