I have a severe vitamin b12 deficency. I have been taking monthly shots. I could not take the oral b12 vitamin because it flared my IC bad. I was wondering about the sublingual b12 you place under your tongue. Has anyone tried these and do they cause you to flare? Thanks

b12 deficiency
Hi
Just wondering if anyone had any updates in this area. I had gastric bypass 3 years ago. I was diagnosed with I.C. about 14 months ago. I went for my annual bypass visit today, and found out I am anemic and b12 is very low as well. I bought the sublingual spray today. I am hoping it will do good enough to raise my levels. (I have been having migraines and no energy). As well as I am to double my iron pills per day. So far I have a little burning in my lower back, but can't say it was the spray or something else. Just thought I'd see if any of you have any more imput in this area since the posts are so old. Have any of you had to have iron shots as well? I am doing well with Elmiron helping improve my I.C.
Thanks in advance.

Sublingual or spray just might be an answer for some of us since it doesn't go through the digestive system like pills would. I hope it works out well for you.

B supplimentation
Hi, wondering if there are any updates to the usage of sublingual or nasal spray B12 or B12 patches. I had horrible flares from b suppliments, but long story short can no longer get a sufficient amount from food and desperately need b vitamins. Going to a blood doctor soon, but wondering if the patch or spray or sublingual has been effective for those here and in this thread and without flares if they had gotten them from tablet forms.
Thanks!

sublingual b12
Hi
I had asked this question over the summer. I have no problems with the spray under the tongue. I keep forgetting to take it twice a day as recommended. I get it about 5 times a week. I am sure I will have to go to shots, but thought I'd say the days I do take it, I dont seem to have any flares.
