Hi Miley, injections do not enter your digestive tract at all. It will absorb into your tissue and then blood stream. Those who can't seem to absorb it from foods will often be given injections to bypass the gut. Hope this helps.
That is really weird. The needle is too short to get to any organs, and if you are injecting near your navel it is nowhere near your stomach.
Can you keep a food journal and see if the upset is being triggered by something you eat or when you eat?
Regardless, belly, thigh, it's not a big difference. You just want a nice fleshy area with a layer of fat to stick. You could even try your love handles, or if you have help back of your arm.
My son is fascinated by medical stuff and keeps begging to let him give me my shot. I could lend him to you to jab your arm. LOL. (Kidding of course)
Why not try injecting Intra-muscularly (I.M.) into the outer middle third of your thighs , where the Vastus Lateralis muscle comes close to the surface ? . For this method you will need a 25g x 1 inch needle . Look up information on the Internet . I have used this method for 5 years without any problems . I.M is the chosen method for medical practitioners injecting B12 .
B12 doesn't cause cobalt poisoning. Although cobalamin is part of the molecule it is a very small part and it is very tightly bound into the molecule and isn't free to directly interact with any other compounds in your body.If you think you have too much B12 then stop injecting.
