The LDN is an exciting prospect, isn’t it?
Regarding B12: Forgive me if you know this, but if your Crohn’s is in your ileum or you have had that part of your gut removed, your body cannot absorb B12 either from food or the kind of pill supplement that you would swallow. This leaves you with three options: shots, sublingual and nasal sprays. I used to get shots, but when I discovered that it contained aluminum I looked for a sublingual. Even though the shots made a big difference for me, I didn’t want to give my immune system the extra work of additional metals to get rid of. I investigated a B12 nasal spray and found that I could get it at Coastal Compounding, but I would need a prescription to get it and a 3.5mL bottle of 30 sprays runs about $25USD. I finally found a sublingual B12 that I think is working for me. I’ve been taking it for a couple of months and my energy is pretty good, but I’ll have my blood level checked this winter to find out for sure. The B12 sublingual that I’m using is a liquid from Pure Encapsulations.
