Vitamin B-12 deficiency linked to acid reducers

After taking Aciphex to treat heartburn for four years, I developed a vitamin B-12 deficiency. I complained to my doctor about being tired all the time. I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I had to beg to have my B-12 levels tested, because my doctor didn't think it was a problem, but found that it was.
