What a lovely post! Thank you.
I am currently experimenting with various drinks. Yesterday she had her first taste of strawberry flavoured complan which she thoroughly enjoyed and it's going to have the added benefit of helping her gain some weight as her appetite is not great. With support I believe we will sort out her issues. she is so much better than a month ago when this lack of folic acid was causing her so many problems and which we were not aware of. Apparently, not having enough folic acid in your system can cause memory issues, fatigue, lack of energy, breathlessness, feeling faint, headaches and palpitations. Unbelievable that such a thing can cause such trouble. Today and yesterday she has been outside with the other residents in their lounge where they all enjoy tea and biscuits - slowly but surely she is definitely getting better.

Glad to hear your mother seems to be improving now.
I have a blood disorder which means I am prone to folic acid deficiency anaemia, and yes it certainly does make you feel all those things.
