Your doctor will need to do more blood tests to figure out if vitamin deficiency is causing your anemia. These testswill also help them find out whether it's a vitamin B-12 or folate deficiency that's causing the condition. One test that your doctor may use to help diagnose you is the Schilling test

The most common causes of megaloblastic, macrocytic anemia are deficiency or defective utilization of vitamin B12 or folate. Do complete blood count, red blood cell indices, reticulocyte count, and peripheral smear. Measure vitamin B12 and folate levels and consider methylmalonic acid and homocysteine testing.
