I am new to Fredds protocol so I'm sorry if this is something that has already been discussed a ton. However, I couldn't seem to find any mention of B12 and extreme hunger.
I am just starting this protocol and have likely been deficient in b12 for 2-3 decades without being aware of it. I have all sorts of neuropathy that I previously assumed was autoimmune but doctors could never find any explanation.
I'm starting off very low with the b12 because even 500mcg causes noticeable Refeeding symptoms (mostly low potassium). I've upped my potassium and my methylfolate and I take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement to cover my cofactors. I feel pretty damn good overall on the b12, the one side effect I currently have is feeling like I need to eat all the time. Is that normal? Or is that a sign of some type of deficiency?
