Fields:

Text

B12 deficiency can occur in Roux-en-Y bypass patients due to low {{c1::acid levels}} so B12 cannot bind to {{c2::haptocorrin (R-binder)}}

Extra

The acidic environment of the stomach is responsible for cleaving B12 from the animal proteins so that it can bind to R-binder and be absorbed in the terminal ileum
