Can vitamin B12 and D deficiency be a sign of an underlying illness, especially if I'm not absorbing them in the gut? I'm a 54-year-old female with no history of bariatric surgery, and I'm waiting for my blood test results.

On the side of my foot, there is a small hard bump that occasionally causes pain when I walk on it. It does not hurt when I squeeze it. I do a lot of peloton cycling and exercise, so not sure if it is a corn?

My stool has been black on and off for a few months. I am 28 years old, not on any medications, and don't have a doctor. Should I be concerned, and what should I do about it? Additionally, my left kidney has started hurting on and off. Should I be concerned about this as well?

I have been on Amitiza for about a year, but it hasn't helped with my severe pelvic floor dysfunction. My gastrointestinal doctor recommended pelvic therapy, which also didn't work, and now they say there's nothing more they can do. I've tried stool softeners, senna, and various lifestyle modifications, but nothing has been effective. I'm taking multiple psychiatric medications, which contribute to my constipation. Is there another medication I could try for my condition?
