They should be good ones. Be sure to let them dissolve under your tongue or between cheek and gums. I hope they are helpful for you.

I don't know what type of Vitamin B it is, one type starts with a "C" and my doctor said that it's no good for those with absorption issues. He said to use the methylcobalamin form, which is immediately bio-available and does not need to be converted. Being the hardhead I am, I went off and bought my own, the one that starts with a "c" which is the most common type, and it made me feel wired and tired. The methylcobalamin has been much more effective and calming.

BTW, they are drops you hold under your tongue for one minute. I wouldn't bother with pills if you have absorption issues...you'll be literally flushing your money away.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention it was a sublingual pill. Which leads me to my next question. Should all vitamins be taken this way? or just b12.

Some other vitamins might be absorbed better in a liquid form but B12 is the important one to take sublingually.

Also please see the note I put in your other post. Your Alive vitamin may contain barley and wheat grass, these would not be safe for you. The companies can get away with calling these gluten free because they are using the grass. Many of us have real nasty issues with wheat and barley grass. Do make sure the form of vitamin from this company that you are taking doesn't contain them.

I can speak to that...caused much distress for the week I took them before figuring it out! Good tip!

The bottle does state "wheat grass" and "barley grass" as ingredients. I remember calling the company (Natures Way) and they told me it was gluten free etc. I've been taking it forever and seem to be okay but I guess it wouldn't hurt to switch especially since I'm almost out. Any recommendations?

Country Life makes truly gluten free vitamins. Now is another brand that is usually safe but always be sure to read the full ingredient label even if a label says gluten-free.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      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.
