B12 Level Up To Normal After Only A Year On gluten-free Diet!

How quickly has your B12 level recovered after being on a gluten-free diet? I didn't expect mine to recover so well and was really amazed that it went up 100 in a year to a normal level. Also I'm now longer anemic but still at the low end of the range.

I take a half serving of Vega food supplement powder everyday and it really helped, it's vegan and gluten-free and full of everything needed and really digestible for sensitive intestines. I absorb it better than an iron supplement I found, which tended to pass straight through me. That combined with a 1 tsp daily dose of Metagenics, Glutagenics on an empty stomach each morning. It has helped to start to heal my intestines. I also take 10ml of aloe vera juice with water every morning. I have tried to eat healthily too and avoid alcohol mostly which helped too.

So for anyone out there needing help, I really recommend this! - good luck healing!

What did you use the Metagenics and Glutagenics for? Are those suppliments? And what did you use the aloe juice for specifically?

I am having a very hard time getting better. I have been gluten free for going on 6 months now.

Thanks for any info.

The brand is Metagenics and product is Glutagenics which contains L-glutamine to help heal the gastrointestinal lining. Aloe vera helps to reduce inflammation in the intestines and promotes healing.

It can be hard at first, and you might find that you have other intolerance's. A big one for me is nightshades - potatoes, tomoatoes, etc so you may find that is also causing a problem. I also found I don't digest hard fats like hard cheese very well and it upsets my stomach. Have you been tested for other food sensitives?

Are you getting any contamination? - it might be worth requesting an IgA test to find out, if it's still high then you are.

Eating Kicheri regularly will help healing, search 'ayuveda kicheri recipe' on google. Eating plain, natural fresh foods with rice as a staple carb will help.

Hope you soon feel better.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
