Stomach miserable after starting b complex? Can it be a herx?

After doing 23andme, i learned i have COMT mutation and should not take methyl b12 or folic acid. My llmd switched me to hydroxy shots and i found a b-minus vitamin. any b complex i have tried since i became symptomatic have worsened my nerve and muscle/tendon symptoms which i now think was due to the methyl. Just after taking a couple doses of B-minus complex, i noticed improvement in my muscle and nerve issues and cold intolerance. It feels the best it has in a couple yrs. however, i now started with miserable stomach upset, gerd, anxious and hot flashes. Just wondering if it could possibly be a herx from taking a vitamin i havd been missing for so long? I now my gut tells me its an intolerance to the B-minus. I dont want to stop taking it because i think it may be my missing link, but dont know if my stomach can handle it. Any suggestions? Herx or reaction? What is best for the stomach upset?

B-minus is a b complex without methylated b12 and folinic acid. Based on my COMT mutation, it said i should not take either of those.?

Something else to consider is that you may have corrected a detox pathway, so you may need to detox more in order to help finish moving those toxins out of your body.

I do have detox problems and wondered if that could be the cause. My llmd just ordered a provoked heavy metals test which im going to do this wk. i last had one done about 3 yrs ago which showed high arsenic levels. I think there was some others but very low.

Are you taking your vitamins with food? I used to get a stomach ache and throw up if I didn't take them with food.

Hmmm the detox pathway could be getting corrected as Traveler said. I would be interested to see what your level of metals is. I couldn't do the provoked test only the hair test as I am now sensitive to sulfur :( so I can't even take glutathione anymore to help with my detoxing. I have the mutations as well. And they kept telling me to just take the injection of b12 to help and then they stopped that due to a sensitivity. My hair metal test came back low just high in arsenic but Mercury low. However my specialist said that is actually indicative of high levels and my system is so over run and depleted it can't even push it out of my body :( so tackling this next. My b12 was like 1000 and I wasn't taking any for months because my doctor was afraid I was allergic. Now, I can take it in a capsule form and no whole body hives. The way my one specialist put it was we can't do much Until we heal the gut lining and build back up our cells with whole food neutriceuticals. So I am trying that approach. I still have amalgam fillings because my body got too beat down and now trying to build up so I can remove them. I hope your tummy calms down. maybe warm water and eating every two hours or so just something small and easy to assimilate into cells.
