I am 19 and have been a vegatarian for just over a year, and I also don't eat eggs. I also have a dairy intolerance so have never eaten dairy much whilst growing up, although I did occasionally eat meat (mainly chicken and beef mince) about twice a week until I was about 17 when I started to go off meat).

I now obviously don't eat meat and the only dairy I eat is cheese (only about once a week though as it makes me sick). I also don't like any of the foods supplemented with b12 (such as yeast extract, heinz spaghetti, nutrigrain bars and cereal etc) I was wondering how much stores of b12 I am likely to have and how long they will last before i end up with a deficiency? I have the added problem of being unable to swallow tablets so I can't even take a supplement for it.

I am so paranoid about this and just need some help and I am too scared to go to the doctors as it is embarrasing not being able to swallow tablets. I also tried dissolavabe tablets and i know this may sound stupid but i was sick after taking them as I didn't like the sensation of them being in my mouth (probably because i thought i was going to swallow them). I don't know what else I can try.

I have also posted this question on a few other boards here too.
