Vitamin Deficiency

Question

I have gastritis from past 4 years and due to the intake of those medicines I had my vitamin D3 and B12 test done and both were low. ( pictures are attached)
Took vitamin IV 200,000 for 3 months( total 3 injections)
Took mathecobal IV 7 doses ( after every 2 days)

Doctor recommended me to start taking oral medicines for vitamin D3 and B12 but everytime I take those medicines, I start having side effects like diarhea and stuff,

Currently from past 1 month, I am not taking anything for vitamin deficiency

Currently I fell kind of weakness again in body.

What should I take now and should I go for a test again or what should be the procedure from now onwards.

Please guide

Reports for both are attached

Vit D3 deficiency is common in Karachi as I don't know why as we have super sufficient sunray so it can be replaced with Vit D3 supplements but Vit B12 deficiency need some investigation to find the reason specially if you are not vegan so need to be visited by a specialist physician soon in your area after taking history and doing physical examination and some complementary tests then everything will be cleared up
