Natural high levels of B12 and B6

We may be related!! I have not had that particular test but my son has and he (and I am almost positive me too) have the MTHFR gene mutation which makes our bodies absorb some B vitamins like B6 instead of urinating them out like most water soluble vitamins. I am okay taking B12 and it doesn't bother me but I absolutely cannot take B6 in any supplement. I thought for sure that I had Parkinson's or MS and my neurologist did as well before she found that my B6 was too high. If you know that you have that or a similar gene mutation, I would stay away from all B vitamins until you get a blood test to check your levels. Have a blessed day!

My B6 keeps going High just from food. And monitor my daily intake making sure not to go over the DRA. My doctor won’t test me for the MTHFR mutation. Besides not taking B6 supplement How do you and your son keep your B6 within normal limits? Is there something you take to help? With an extremely strict diet mine my go back to normal range for about a month then right back to being to high again. My doctor is of no help, says everything is fine. My neuropathy says otherwise!

What was the blood level of B6 that is or was considered high? If you wouldn’t mind sharing that.
I have a high b12 but not absorbing so take some special b12 supplement.
Thanks
