Alkaline Phosphatase Level And Borderline Levels

My Dr ordered a bunch of bloodwork to check my nutrition and vitamin levels. Results are slowly coming back but still waiting for some more. So far my Alkaline phosphatase is pretty low. Anything under 30 is low and mine is 24. A few other levels are borderline:

Ferritin 22 (borderline low)

RBC 3.97 (borderline low)

Potassium 3.8 (borderline)

And vit b12 is 482 but it says its normal

Anyone familiar with low Alkaline phosphatase?

Hi there,

I am in the testing phase right now too.  My blood work has all been pretty normal except my eosinophils are really high.  The only other thing back through my labs for the past 10 years is that my alkaline phosphatase has dropped down and now is a little over 30 (used to be in the 80s).  Most of what I read is that only high levels are considered problematic but a few places said a low number could mean you are not absorbing nutrients as well as you should.

Have you gotten an answer from your doctor yet??

I am in the middle of a gluten challenge until my colonoscopy/endoscopy in 2 more weeks.

Good luck!

Low alkaline phosphates is common in scurvy, which I doubt you have! You may just need more vit c

It can also mean low b6, folc acid, or thyroid issues. It can also mean too much vit d, or malnutrition

As therevarevso many possibilities, I'd go back to your doc when you get all your results andgetnhim/her to go through them and help you akebsurevyou are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Idnam! Ranitidine and Famotidine are not proton pump inhibitors. They are H2 blockers. It is true that histamine intolerance is common in the celiac population. We often don't produce enough of a histamine regulator called DAO (diamine oxidase). Not sure, but this may be due to damage to the gut lining by celiac inflammation. You might also want to research MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) as it is often goes hand in glove with histamine intolerance and is actually the root cause. Or, at least that is my understanding. By the way, you can purchase DAO capsules but there is not clear evidence they work.

      Very interesting, @Idnam.  When I was experiencing this problem at its worse, I found high carb meals like lots of rice or too many cookies were a trigger.
