Some Interesting Things About B 12

So,I started having neuropathy pains about 2 months ago, after going gluten-free. THe doctors ruled out most causes, and said it "couldn't possibly" be due to b12 deficiency, because mine was at 450 ish. Well, thanks to my "team of doctors" through the internet, I found out via blood tests that my Methylmalmonic acid (I hope I spelled that right) is high, and that is an indicator that my body is not handling the B 12 properly. So, even though my levels are "normal" it's not getting everywhere it needs to be to prevent the neuro symptoms. I upped my sublingual B12 to 2000mcg per day, and after 2 days, I can already feel a difference in the neuropathy. They said it's probably due to Celiac. So, if you have similar issues, you may want to look into the MMA connection to B12.

For anyone who is taking B12 and had neuropathy, how long did it take to go away completely?

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
