Acid Deficient Symptoms
Folate deficiency occurs in a number
of situations. For example, low dietary intake and diminished
absorption, as in alcoholism, can result in a decreased
supply of folate. Certain conditions like pregnancy or cancer
result in increased rates of cell division and metabolism,
leading to an increase in the body's demand for folate.
Several medications may also contribute to deficiency
Folic acid deficiency may have the following symptoms:
1). Megaloblastic anemia, in which red blood cells are large
and uneven in size
2). Weakness
3). Irritability
4). Lack of energy
5). Loss of appetite
6). Paleness
7). Sore, red tongue
8). Mild mental symptoms, such as forgetfulness and confusion
