My doctor wants me to hold off the B12 injections now and see if my level holds. If I have been taking folic acid for about 6 months would that effect the b12 results, would they appear higher on testing?

I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and I to have a burning pain below my left ribs. It feels like a bruise when I touch it but there is no bruise there, I have had it for several months and it comes and goes!! Whether it is related or not though I am unsure.

I had a negative blood test for celiac but a positive biopsy. It would probably benefit you to have a biopsy but if you cannot get one then a trial of a gluten free diet can only assist in the elimination or confirmation of a diagnosis.

Hi Trents thank you for your reply. My last check on B12 showed it was now 336. I have recieved B12 via injection and have been on folic acid for many months and my levels are near normal. I have also been taking ferritin for many months to.

I have been suffering from autonomic dysfunction for 3 months now. 7 weeks of this was spent in hospital extremely unwell and the cause has not been found. They suspect the form I have to be postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). This can be an illness on its own or caused by something (secondary). On the wikpedia website it says that celiac...
