Vitamin B12 and D deficiency
I have vitamin D (7.8) and Vitamin B12 (135) deficiency, are these values too low? I am pure vegan and had fistulotomy recently. I had stomach pain 2 weeks back and doctor recommended that i have acid reflux, today on blood test we found this deficiency.
My doctor (Gastrologist) is suspecting that there might be something wrong with stomach that it is unable to take vitamins, so he wants to perform endoscopy biopsy however my sister who is ayurvedic doctor doesn't want me to go for endoscopy. I am confused what to do next? Should this deficiency is because of stomach issues? Is it normal for person to have such values?
I am on supplements currently.

These low levels are very common these days as well as Gastritis.
Endoscopy is not always needed.
Although no harm in getting it done.
Just take supplimemts for these.
