Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Nil- My folic Acid was high on my last blood test?? What symptoms can this cause, do you know? Im wondering if maybe some of that is my problem. The doc blew it off and said it was nothing to worry about ''yet''. When I see any level too high or too low, it should be something to worry about and correct. > > I don't do well with multi's.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 hi katie here is my experience. I once used a b complex which contained hydroxycobalamin b12 and folic acid at high amounts. than some time later I started having some neurological problems. I am not sure if it was due to high folic acid intake or some other reason as my condition could have been effected by other reasons,too. I had folic acid test done and my folic acid found to be above top limit. Than I stopped it. after stopping it my folic acid levels came down.Since than I am noticing that whenever I take b complexes containing high amounts of folic acid I am having some high histamine symptoms.congestion,running nose,etc.. hard to describe. I don't feel well with it and at this point I am using special b complex that contains low folic acid. it could be that I am not utilizing b12 and/or folic acid well and they are building up in blood.my b12 blood levels are also high even though I probably have b12 deficiency. bw Nil Re: What's the best multi-vit I can buy? > > > I would suggest a trip to a local health food store.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Oh, ok. THanks. I was searching for what high folic acid means, and couldn't find much, it was all related to breast health I think. Just another level abnormal that my doc blew off-AUG! Happy New Year! > > hi katie > > here is my experience.
