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.

My doc said you can't overdose on B-12. Don't know about mag.

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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
