Vitamin B Injections: I Am Considering It.

I am considering whether vitamin B injections would be right for me. First off, I read that a certain variety of vitamin B is the best. What is it?

Have injections been helpful to you?

I am planning to try sublingual B first. How do I tell it works and continually works. It seems that my vitamins the longer I take them, become intolerable to me. How can I tell the vitamin B injections work. I would like to have more than a subjective measurement as usual.

You might try a holistic doc. The only "B" that I know for sure that allopathic docs inj is B12. Do you have low stomach acid? if you are over 40 it is more likely to not have enough, than to have too much. B12 sublingual, but also on an empty stomach, since most of it is swallowed in the saliva. I have a cast iron stomach, but even I can't do B-complex on an empty stomache. Good luck

I had noticed halves of capsules coming through with powder still inside. I did a nutrient absorbption blood test. I have a vitamin B 12 high need I also need B 6 and B1. .. . It is a catch 22. One needs the vitamins to get the acid for digestion; one needs the acid to get the vitamins. Somehow, I have to break the cycle. . I have developed intolerances to nearly everything I eat I am trying to get a rotational diet going and am currently feeling better. My eyes are blood shot and have blackness under them.. I can't take the vitamins I had been taking because of my intolerance to rice.

Meats, nuts, legumes, vegetables, good fats, tiny bits of fruits and supplements. My variety includes about 50 various elements. I haven't had a sweet treat, besides fruit for 5 years, but for some crystalized ginger occassionally. Desperate people with a natural food bend do desperate things in order to get better like eating healthy.

Hi Diana,

Have you tried Betaine HCL? If you have a stomach acid problem you can take Betaine HCL to help riase the acid level in your stomach.

Hi Diana,

Have you tried Betaine HCL? If you have a stomach acid problem you can take Betaine HCL to help riase the acid level in your stomach.

Thanks, there is some in my supplements. But I did find out that I needed some pancreatic enzymes perhaps that will help.

Hi Diana-

We found - upon recommendation from our holistic doc -- if we take enzymes before meals and Betaine HCL about a half our after the meal (he actually suggested an hour after, but we kept forgetting them) things digest a bit better. Perhaps you could take your supplements during your largest meal sandwiched between enzymes and HCL? It is a tricky thing to find the correct mix on a healing system.

Another thing that can help is to remove ALL supplements for a week and then add one at a time back in at a time - If your supplements are not helping or you are not digesting them - it's time to work on the timing a bit.

If rotation isn't working - perhaps give food combining a read - this can aid digestion.

Good Luck :)

I tried a B-vitamin shot about a month ago. Cocktail of B12, B complex, folic acid, and some other nutrient that begins with "L" (cannot read my doc's handwriting). I did notice a slight improvement in energy (more pep). I also noticed when the shot wore off at about day 8 or day 9, right when my doctor said it would (tired earlier in the day). I am taking occasional B12 sublingual and B-complex tablet (ingest) when I remember to and these seem to help some. Good luck.

Thanks, something seems to be working. I quit eating buckwheat that was cross contaminated, started a rotational diet, began pancreatic enzymes, and got different vitamin B12. Dare I get a little gitty? Not yet.

I now take B-12 injections twice a month...You want your B-12 level to be around 850...mine was under 400 Which by the way is within the ranges but I couldn't function...I do also take multi vits & mins, Vit D & so on. Just some of us only the injection helps...I was doing weekly & may have to go back to weekly injections to keep my level at 850... It's been a month of bi-monthly & my level is only 503

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Parent-to-parent, I hear your exhaustion and worry loud and clear – what you’re describing goes far beyond typical toddler troubles. Your daughter’s screaming night pain, terrible bloating, stalled growth, and constant infections are textbook red flags for celiac disease or another serious gluten-related condition. While her blood test came back negative, there are critical reasons not to rule it out yet. First, celiac tests are notoriously unreliable in kids under 3 – their tiny immune systems often don’t produce enough antibodies to register on standard blood work, especially if she wasn’t eating consistent gluten beforehand (which you mentioned was a struggle). Her iron deficiency alone is a glaring clue, as it’s one of the most common signs of undiagnosed celiac in little ones. The fact that she’s already dairy/soy-free yet still suffering suggests something bigger is at play. It could still be celiac (a pediatric GI should consider an endoscopy with biopsies, the gold standard for diagnosis), or possibly non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) – which doesn’t show up on tests but can cause identical agony. Her recurring mouth ulcers and infections also hint at the immune dysfunction seen in celiac. Until you see the specialist, I’d quietly start a gluten-free trial (after documenting her current symptoms carefully with photos/videos of the bloating and pain episodes). If you see improvement in 3-4 weeks, that’s powerful evidence to bring to the doctors. You’re not being dramatic – you’re being the exact advocate your daughter needs. If the pediatrician brushes you off, look them in the eye and say: “What else could explain ALL these symptoms together? If it’s not celiac, what’s our next step to stop her suffering?” Keep pushing – moms’ instincts are rarely wrong about this stuff. For now, focus on small wins: snap daily pics of her belly to show the distension, ask for a fecal calprotectin test (checks gut inflammation), and know this internet stranger is rooting for you both. She’s lucky to have you fighting for her.

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺
