Dear Practo User.
Thanks for sending across your query.
I'd suggest sunlight exposure for vitamin D, and B12-rich plant options like fortified cereals or nutritional yeast. Include mushrooms, soaked almonds, and sesame seeds for support. Consider supplements if deficiency is severe.
Next Steps
For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.
Yes. While balanced diet will definitely help, multivitamin supplements can also be used for 15 days.But you should look at beyond vitamins. IBD as such needs further management.
Next Steps
consult a general physician with important data points to reach at exact diagnosis and get proper treatment
Health Tips

Because you having IBS, your appetite and digestion is not good. so that you are not able to eat properly and have nutrition deficiency.
so if you correct your IBS and mood , it will cure everything.
so don’t wander your mind, keep focus.
1. Do some breathing meditation.
2. Do 20-30 min physical exercises daily.
3. consult psychiatrist or gastroenterologist because you have to start SSRI medication.
4. Take life lightly, not seriously. Improve academics.
Next Steps

Natural remedies alone are unlikely to correct the vitamin b 12 and d deficiencies,as these are sourced from meat , fish, dairy products.Consider taking injection cyanocobalamin and vitamin d initially.
You have vitamin B12 and D deficiencies likely due to poor absorption from IBS. For now, you need supplements (B12 and D3) along with sunlight and a gut-friendly diet like rice, boiled vegetables, puffed rice, sesame seeds, and fermented rice water. For long-term correction and natural remedies, regular sun exposure and simple homemade foods will help. For further guidance, consult me directly through practo.
Natural Sources of Vitamin D is Meat Fish and Dairy Products and you are not into those. Still they wont provide a sufficient amount of Vitamin -D to replenish the amount of Vitamin deficiency you have. Natural Sources are to be looked for when you dont have deficiency.
Small amount of Vitamin D is found in Soya Products, Certain Mushrooms and Almonds
Next Steps
Tab Uprise D3 60K 1 tab Once a Week x 12 Weeks
Tab Methylcobalamin 1500 1 tab Daily x 1 month
