Clinical manifestations of deficiency can cause anemia and damage the nervous system. Most vegans consume enough vitamin B12, to avoid the clinical manifestations of its deficiency. The group in the risk of B12 deficiency belongs to two subgroups of vegans: vegans with experience, who avoided the usual rich foods (e.g., Syroyid or vegans, macrobiotic), infants of mothers-vegans, who consume enough B12.
Typical vitamin B deficiency symptoms in adults are tiredness, tingling, numbness, in particular to pain or pressure, blurred vision, abnormal gait, sore tongue, poor memory, confusion, hallucinations and personality changes. Often these symptoms develop gradually from a few months to a year before they discover that their cause is a lack of B12, and subject to control consumption of B12, they are usually reversible. However, there is no completely consistent with each other and reliable list of symptoms, and there are cases of irreversible damage in adults due to lack of B12. If you suspect that you have a problem - get a positive diagnosis from a qualified doctor, as each of these symptoms can also be caused by other problems, not lack of B12.
Usually in children, symptoms appear more rapidly than adults do. Lack of B12 can lead to loss of strength, loss of appetite and poor weight gain. If not immediately correct them, it can lead to coma or death. And again: there is no completely consistent with each other a list of symptoms. Children are more at risk of irreversible damage than adults are. Some recover completely, while others show only slow improvement.
The risk of these groups of people is in itself a sufficient reason to constantly refer to all vegans, bringing to them the importance of B12 and the need to be good examples of this. Every case of B12 deficiency in a child-vegans, or have poorly informed adults - it is a tragedy that tarnished the reputation of veganism in general.
