Is This Common Cause of Neurological Problems Too Often Overlooked?

Vitamin B12 deficiency is commonly associated with neurologic complications like tingling and numbness in the extremities. However, research suggests other micronutrient deficiencies cause similar clinical presentation but are often overlooked, particularly copper deficiency which will often manifest neurologically in much the same way as B12 deficiency. Two recent papers highlight that neurological complications from malabsorption, such as bariatric surgery or celiac, are often the result of vitamin or mineral deficiencies (B1, B12, copper, etc) which are too commonly overlooked but once diagnosed, are easily and inexpensively be treated.
