The common causes of megaloblastic anemia are less dietray intake, autoimmune disorders like [[pernicious anemia]], [[alcoholism]], increased demands like in [[pregnancy]] and due to drugs.
==Causes==
==Causes==
Normal B12 absorption and action are dependent of 5 things: dietary intake, acid in the stomach, pancreatic secretions, secretion of IF by Gastric parietal cells, an ileum that can absorb the IF-B12 complex
