That’s great.
. I’m moderate to severe, so my illiium does not absorb B12 very well. So that’s why under the tongue. Berry flavor, not bad.
I take 1 B12 timed release 1200 mcg a day. I think dosage varies according to your body's level of absorbtion.
i wouldn't do anything without asking my doc. too much b12 can worsen things.

Your doctor should know, as my doctor and the doctor that leads my support group that it is very difficult to overdose B vitamins as they will be expelled in urine. If you drink enough water there will be no damage,
More importantly is Crohn’s people need extra B12 and D3 vitamins because we do not absorb as much as others. D3 is natural and absorbs better than synthetic D2.

I’ve been making my own milk kefir for the past four years. It has definitely helped with the constant diarrhea. Still have the occasional unannounced bouts, but nothing like the nightmares of the past twenty years. I began making my own yogurt this year as well. SO much better than any store bought yogurt. I make a batch in my crockpot every two weeks. And am making my own butter now, too. I take 4000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day. Will inquire about the Vit B12 to see if I need that. I’m supposed to take folic acid, but haven’t as of yet.

What strength and type do you take?

If you've had bowel resection then might need injections or another way of getting it into the body as the bit they often cut out is the bit responsible for digesting it. You can get a blood test to see where your levels are at which will indicate whether you're okay or need to up it a bit. I tried transdermal patches but found it very expensive so now use a daily oral spray which is supposed to mean it gets absorbed into bloodstream from your mouth innards.
Thanks for the info...
