I have been diagnosed with coeliac disease ( just this week) and my bowel is very damaged so I would definitely have some issues absorbing stuff (malabsorbtion) I'm am ttc and concerned that if I'm taking folate not enough is being absorbed to be of benefit iykwim? I am currently taking folate on it's own and taking two of the little tablets , so double. I also don't want to take too much, can you "overdose" on folate?
Sorry to hear of your Coeliac diagnosis A. My brother and a close friend have it too, it can be so painful.
RE: folate, Dr Google says no - that there are no known toxic effects from having too much. However one FAQ I saw mentioned a National Health and Medical Research Council recommended a limit of 1mg/day. I'm no health professional though!
Have you ever seen a naturopath and/or a dietician? If not, might be worth checking out. I know it's much milder but I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and seeing a dietician really saved me.
