Sadly, oral supplements don't really do much for B12 deficiencies.
Ugh to the GPs you know. I was worried when I got diagnosed with coeliac disease and then with B12 deficiency that I'd come under pressure to give up being vegetarian, but all my GPs were 100% supportive. And remained supportive when I told them I was cutting down on other animal products for ethical reasons.
Obviously I'm coming from the perspective that farming bacon causes substantially more suffering than farming halloumi, and that matters. So "eat bacon rather than halloumi" doesn't feel like a great cure to me.
(But on the other hand, farming beef probably causes less suffering than farming eggs, so if you're also talking about having steak rather than an omlette for dinner [unless you eat eggs from backyard chickens or something] that's probably positive all round.)
