How to use diet to boost B12/Folic acid levels

Hi,

RE: How to use diet to boost B12/Folic acid levels

My wife had Bowel Cancer surgery 4-weeks ago.  She's looking for low-fibre diet options to help boost B12/Folic Acid levels.  We've been looking at Beetroot juice but it seems quite fibre heavy.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Martin

  • Hello Martin

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. I hope that she is recovering well from her surgery. 

    It would be best to talk with your wife's clinical nurse specialist or Consultant about this query. They are best placed to know your wife's medical history and if necessary they can refer her to see a dietician for advice about nutrition. 

    I'm sorry that I can't be of more help on this occasion and hope that her health continues to improve. 

    Best wishes,
