B 12

[Beverley Ann Johnson]

So I just received my blood results, low B 12.  Does anyone else have or had this problem and are there any stomach issues after taking B 12?

I was diagnosed vitamin D deficient before my gluten intolerance (NCGS) was diagnosed. After my gluten challenge I had to take supplements, and had to focus on vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc. I also have to watch for dehydration/electrolytes.

I take a sublingual vitamin B-12 that dissolves under my tongue for absorption. It took over 2 years for my body to heal from the challenge, so I did have additional intolerances, and stomach issues. I had difficulty with any fillers or excipients. I often tried to find liquid or minimal ingredients/fillers/excipients based supplements. 

It improved over time.  I do not have issues taking the B12 siblingual now. I do know I have come across people in the past that sublingual B12 doesn't raise their levels properly or who struggle with the pill or sublingual forms. Those people explain they get a shot from their Dr in that case/situation.

So if it continues to cause trouble for you. You may want to see if switching brands would help. If not perhaps reaching out to your Dr about next steps will bring you some relief.
