I can take to not overdose?

Hi,

just want to make sure if I really need B12 that o pill suggested on the bottle is enough.

I guess not, somebody also suggested B12 in drops.

thanks

everyone eats a different diet, I may like one thing that you hate...

I suggest getting your doctor to give you a blood test to see what nutrients you are lacking and add those.

I only needed calcium, b and folic acid

If the tabs that you have are sublingual they will be very tiny, they are meant to dissolve under the tongue not to be chewed or swallowed. Liquid works okay also as long as it is for sure gluten-free. Amounts in the sub linguals will vary but don't be scared by what seems like a large amount. Most of us need the supplements because our body is not able to utilize the B12 from our food or from a regualr vitamin because the area that is damaged in our gut is needed to absorb it.

You can not take too much B12 it is not a vitamin that you will get toxic levels of. What your body does not need will be excreted.

It is hard to OD on magnesium since your body will do rude things to get rid of it. Remember "Phillips Milk of Magnesia"? Guess what it does? It gives you a big dose of magnesium.

You might take 150-300mg of magnesium and see how your body reacts.

I started off taking 300 mg of magnesium and that was enough for me. Since going on antidepressants that cause constipation and iron (same problem) , I am up to 700 mg just to have a normal BM.

My B12 is OK so I just take a good multivitamin.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
