A lot of people like Jarrow B12. I have used it for years, but am now switching to Pure Encapsulation liquid because I want to avoid the xylitol. I just figured out it gives me "D". Make sure you take this with a complete vitamin B complex or it can throw others off like Folic Acid.

You can take up to 1000 mg daily of magnesium. I like magnesium citrate, but others are also good. I like Solgar. You need to balance it with calcium though. Dont take alone. A ratio of 2:1 or 1:1 is good. And with the calcium you need vitamin D and Boron.

Supplements are about balance or you can create a new problem by fixing just a single nutrient.

I use Trader Joe's brand of sublingual B12. It is 1000 mcg, 100 tablets in the form of cyanocobalamin. They also have a B12/Folic Acid/B-6 sublingual blend tab. I tried Jarrow, as people say the other form of B12 is easier to digest and better overall, but I figured out the sugar alcohols were "plugging me up" for days. I also tried Freeda vitamins which also had the sugar alcohols. I also take Floradix Floravital Liquid Extract Formula, which has Iron, vit C, and several B's. I took Utrition liquid which had tons of B12 in it but there is controversy about one ingredient in it despite the "Gluten-Free" on the label.

I use Country Life BioChem Superior B12--I get it from I-Herb.com. They say Jarrow is the best, I haven't it yet. Whichever one you try, always make sure it's gluten free. Mine has no yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, starch, perservatives, artificial color or sweeteners. It doesn't taske bad to boot!

I just started taking Solgar B12. What is Boron and what does it do for you? What does the ratio mean? So you are saying take calcium and boron at the same time I take the Solgar?

1) B12 I use Jarrow; there is a huge difference between methylcobalamin & cyanocobalamin. The methylcobalamin alleviates my symptoms much better.

2) A B complex or multivitamin is great to help the B's stay in correct balance; I recommend Pure Encapsulations multi-vitamin.

3)I've always taken Natural Calm Magnesium; no complaints thus far Open Original Shared Link

      The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute.  Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone.  Endomysial antibody ranges are more standardized, and a titer of 1:5 would usually be normal.  Might that be the normal range and not her result?  Her total immunoglobulin A is normal for her age. (This is tested because if low, then the other IgA tests might not be valid).

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.
