Hi!
I've been injecting hydroxocobalamin for ten months now regularly (once a week minimum) to cure neuropathy caused by B12 def. I have gained weight and have also noticed that I'm very bloated the days after my injection. Generally, I feel tired and bloated all the time. I'm taking all the necessary co-factors and eating a potassium-rich diet.
Can the injections cause bloating?
Thank you for any advice!
If you have PA then the lack of stomach acid can cause bloating. But that wouldn't be affected by injections.
Might be worth getting your doctor to check your thyroid. Those symptoms also fit with an underactive thyroid. Not saying it is!!
Hi, thank you for the response. My thyroid tests have always come out normal.
I only have injection x 6 weekly - I have no problem with bloating but my metabolism works more quickly for a couple of days and I am more hungry than usual.
I would go gluten free for 6 weeks and keep a symptom journal. I suspect gluten is your culprit. I find a gluten and dairy free diet has helped enormously. I si IM every 4th day and take cofactors.
Thank you for the response. I actually already eat almost completely gluten-free (the celiac test was negative) and no dairy. But I think I may have figured this out now that I started to really look at my diet. I think it might be the potassium-rich foods like eating a lot of potatoes on the injection days that is causing the bloating. Good idea to keep a diary! I'll do that and see if it matches my suspicions now 
Buying B12 injections
B12 injections not working
B12 injections leaking?
