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.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
