After waiting over 3 weeks for my Intrinsic Factor blood test - it’s normal Intrinsic Factor ABS 2.30 - so I am to take CyanocoMinn 50mg - 2 each day for 8 weeks and then more tests including celiac test. I am feeling incredibly tired and wiped out at the moment, which I just put down to PMR so hope this helps 😴

I hope you respond to this treatment. You have to eat wheat products for around 6 weeks before they can then test you for Celiac disease. My son knows he’s sensitive to it ( bloating and IBS symptoms from the smallest amount). The vit B treatment with Cyanoco Minn sounds great with minimum side effects. I hope all this helps your fatigue to lift at last.

Jules, does your B12 contain cyanide? Because the first part is “ cyano”.

In the US we have B12 as Cyanocobalamin or Methylcobalamin. The former has cyanide in it the latter doesn’t. I take the latter.

Hi there, its CyanocoMinn 50mg and doesn't say it contains cyanide. That would be all I need to be slowly poisoning myself :)
