Does anyone know the answer?

Chronic use of PPI causes deficiency in which of the following nutrient?

B6, folic acid, B12, and two other choices I can't remember

I didn't pick B12 because it's absorbed in the ileum but the intrinsic factor is produced in the stomach. Folic acid is absorbed in the jejunum. So I picked B6 but am not sure.

If anyone knows, please answer. Thx
