A Sorbitol Free Sublingual B-12

Hi, i'm trying to find a subligual b12 that is gluten/casein/soy free -- that is also sorbitol free.

And i can't seem to find one.

I've read that Methylcobalamin in a b12 is better to have. I was going to order from kirman labs, but their's has sorbitol in it... Does anyone know of a company that doesn't? Much thanks :)

I haven't done much research, but it seems like all the sublinguals I take have SOMETHING like that in it. They have to make it so it tastes good and one or more of the -tols seems to be what they use. I'll be starting B12 injections this week, so I can bypass the gut altogether.

I found a b-12 spray at Sprouts this past weekend without any of that stuff in it. It is called pure advantage and it is of the methyl form.

Mine is wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, and egg free. But, it has Xylitol.

Jarrow Formulas Methyl B-12 1000 mcg.

I don't take any oral b-12 either because I can't find one without all the stuff in it. I also am doing 2x weekly methyl b-12 injections. They are great! :)

Are you sure you would react to the tiny amount of sorbitol that would be in a tiny sublingual pill? I generally react to sugar alcohols, but the sorbitol in the B12 pill I take doesn't bother me. (In case anyone wonders, it is the vegetarian formula one from Twin Labs.)

I am interested in this topic though. I'll look for that spray next time I'm in a store and browse through the B12 sublinguals, too.

Thanks for the replies...i googled the pure advantage spray, and i'm going to buy some.

In regard to the little amount of sorbitol in a b12 question, i try to avoid sorbitol in general, and any other sugar substitutes mainly because i don't think they are healthy, and i've had stomach issues when i ate something not knowing that it was in it in the past.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
