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

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
