Hi there,

i was dignosed with celiac disease in Mar05, my doc advised me to take B12 shots, which i took every week for 4 weeks, after that i moved to florida and could not make arrangements for receiving the shots, my energy levels started to drop, B12 tablets did not seems to help, and ulcers in mouth started to grow bigger. right then two weeks back some one suggested the sublingual tablets from Twinlab (500 mcg), i find these very useful. i have been taking one tablet every day and my energy level is improving. The same strength of 500 mcg from other tablets proved to be useless. Now i don't know how long i should continue on these tablets. Does anyone have experience with the sublingual tablets?

thanks

nitin

:P

I take sublingual b12 vitamins. They are supposed to be really good because of the way it releases into the body. I take the Enzymatic Therapy brand

That's great news! I'm not taking vitamin B12 myself unless it is in Boost or a multivitamin but I am thinking about taking B vitamins to improve my energy levels. Glad to hear that the Twinlab (500 mcg) have helped yours :) Is Twinlab only vitamin B12 or are there other things in it?

If your doc will agree, you can also give yourself the B-12 (and B-complex and folic acid if needed) using an insulin needle. That way you do not have to make arrangements to get them done. I have not tried the sublingual version, but the shots sure help.

I know I would never have the stomach to do that. :blink:

I found Sublingual B Total liquid drops

Nutraceutical Solutions 800-856-7040

www.eliquidsolutions.com

I eat complex carbs (potato or rice) the night before

training and/or games, take the liquid

in the morning and then right before activity

so that I don't "crash" during training

and games. Worked like a charm during my

recent tournament.

I figured as long as I'm attempting to be athletic

will be how long I continue with the supplements.

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
