Have you had B12 blood work? Do you know the numerical result? Many doctors remain clueless on B12 metabolism and needs.

MrsD, I am on a large dose of B complex for nerves and that does stop the tingling and numbness I get in my feet. Last tested in Nov on the high dose my levels were normal and as long as I am on it I am fine. I did recently go to a pain doc who found a bluging disc in my back. So some of the numbness may come from that.
I am more concerned about the pins & needles. I use L-carnitine to keep the sensations away and on 1000 mg a day I am fine but if I cut back at all I am in misery. I just don't want to be putting a band-aide over something that might not be related to celiac.
I have been tested twice this year for diabetes, had an MRI of the brain and all brainwaves are clear so I think we can eliminate MS. I am not an alcoholic and have never been a heavy drinker.
