B-12
My Doctor found I am very low in "D" and "B" extreamly low. I can take the "D" without trouble. I was getting B-12 shots at the Doctors office (no problems) but I did not feel like going there so often so I bought "B" pills. After just the first one I felt terrible! I'm afraid to take another. Anyone here know more about taking "B" orally? Maybe it was just a bad day for me. Thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Hugs, Ziggy

I take sublingual B-12 and I don't have any problems at all. I have to go in every once in a while for a series of shots but I take the supplements I hopes that I avoid that pain of having to go to the office all the time. I asked if I could give them to myself (I have no problem with it) but my doc said that's a no-go. I know that the shots make me feel SO much better, and I don't think the oral supplements do as good of a job, but I'm trying to do something!!!
I also asked Julie (dietician Julie) and she said most IC'ers don't have a problem with B-12. I would finish your series of shots and then give it a try, either sub or pill form. You'll KNOW if it's a problem. Like I said, for me, no problem. I know how crap you feel when your B-12 is low, so good luck!!!Katie-46 yr old female dx'd with IC after 15 years of symptoms off and on long term antibiotic use, GERD,IBS and now IC diet, gallbladder removed, endometrial ablation w/tubes tied
