Thanks for the update... I am glad you are turning the corner.

You may have a genetic failure to methylate B vitamins. Folate is involved too. That is why the methyl B12 is working for you better. Many people have this, not just celiac patients.

Just keep in mind that you will probably have to use the oral methylcobalamin for life. Don't get "smug" and think you can now get by without it. That could just push you into a relapse!
This happens to many people....who think they are "cured" when they are not. If you have the MTHFR polymorphism you will need activated methyl B12 and methylfolate for life. This can be tested for with a DNA test... about $125.
