Sublingual B12

For those of you who started taking a sublingual B12, how much do you take and how often? So far, I've taken one a day since Sat. I haven't really noticed a big difference, although I didn't expect much in 3 days. But, I was just wondering if that is a good amount or if I should take go more/less?

I've been taking 1 a day for exactly 1 week, and I noticed a difference after a few days. My cramps in my palms and feet subsided, as well as my anxiety - wasn't expecting that. And I feel a lot "brighter."

I think 1 a day should be a good amount.

I take approx. 30 drops (one dropperful) every morning. I can tell the difference when I do not take it. I take a second dropperful later in the day if I feel the need or am having nerve reactions to food intols or am extra stressed.

I have taken B-12/Folic Acid/B-6 for a few weeks now and I really notice a difference. The brand I take is under the tongue also. The B-12 portion is 1000mcg. I take one a day, but may try twice a day :)

According to the articles I've read, the optimal amount of B12 is about 3mg per day. And studies also show that it is absorbed slowly. So therefore I take three 1mg lozenges per day, as many hours apart as I can. Just make sure it's methylcobalamin, as the others are simply not effective, or even dangerous (the common type is cyanocobalamin, which believe it or not has cyanide).

I've been taking two a day. Maybe I'll try three, but I'm not sure the amt in each lozenge. I'll have to check it out, I know it's mcg. I felt really good Tuesday, had lots of energy. But the weather is CRAZY here right now, and I've had a headache for about two days now. Although today I can at least hold my head up. So, I'm not sure if I feel better yet or not. But I'll try 3 a day. Thanks RiceGuy... you are a wealth of knowlege. :D

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Jo Woodard · Posted

      I have been gluten free for 25 years, but had recent skin issues taking over my body (biopsy said it was "psoriasis-like"). I thought I was eating gluten free, but my blood tests came back positive for consumption of gluten.  I examined everything and then my doctor identified the source as "gluten free" oats (even if organic).  She said that there is no way to avoid cross contamination. So now I am really gluten free since cutting out oats.  My skin is cleared up and my blood work is clean.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Oh sorry see I know nothing lol. Yes my doctor informed me to eat gluten up until the biopsy so squared away there. All of my questions here are just to get me in the right head space. I have put the actual values from the test.  Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgA Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value 688 Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgA Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Positive (Abnormal) Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: <0.5 Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: 0.4 Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: <0.8 Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative IgA Quantitative Normal range: 68 - 378 mg/dL - Value: 271

      Welcome to the forum, @Skg414228! You say that your DGP-IGA score is high and you give the absolute test score but you do not give the scale or units used by the lab doing the analysis so we cannot comment further on your conclusion. Different labs use different reference ranges for the same tests. There is no industry standard for these celiac antibody tests. So, could you also post back with the scale and the units? If you already have an endoscopy/biopsy scheduled, the important thing is to hold off on going gluten free until that is done. There are some things besides celiac disease that can cause elevated celiac disease antibody levels so it is still possible you may be looking at something else. This is especially true when you are not IGA deficient and the tTG-IGA is within normal range. But you are correct in saying that very high antibody scores strongly weight the probability in favor of celiac disease. Keep us posted. By the way, kudos to your physician for ordering a more complete antibody panel. Many will only order the tTG-IGA.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      I went to the gastroenterologist for what I thought was IBS. They thought it sounded like celiac. I got a blood test with normal everything except a deamidated gliadine peptide iga of 688. Total iga was in normal range so not deficient.    My question is with a dgp iga like that is it pretty much only celiac at that point. I haven’t seen anything else that would cause the dgp iga to be that high. Already have the biopsy scheduled so nothing is going to change I’m just curious what else it could be and is the number high enough that I should really be preparing expecting a positive biopsy and it’s just a confirmation at this point?

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.
