A B12 reading of 185 is deficient and needs to be corrected now. It should be at least 500, especially someone as young as he is. I would suggest you also find out what his iron, folate, b6, copper and vitamin D levels are. You can correct the B12 through oral supplementation.

Is he a vegetarian by chance? Could also have problems with gluten which impacts your nutritional status.

Read this thread on this forum. It's the most recent post on B12.
