Yes, a nutritionist should be able to order tests for nutritional deficiencies.  Test for magnesium, Vitamin D, and iron.

Blood tests for the B vitamins are not accurate.  The best way to test for deficiencies is to take B Complex and Benfotiamine and look for improvement.

I like Life Extension, and Nature's Way.  Yes, available on Amazon.  Stay away from rice flour fillers.

Keep in mind that blood tests for nutritional deficiencies may not be valid if you are already taking vitamin supplements. That may mask deficiencies.

so just to update, Ive been watching what i eat to see what symptoms i develop. one of them is a clogged ear. I noticed a few months ago my ear would clog up every morning and had no idea why. since Ive stopped eating gluten it no longer occurs. I had instant rice two days ago (non gluten free) and developed the clogged ear shortly after eating. yesterday i had gluten free rice and for the last two days no clogged ear. weird stuff. im also noticing fats from eggs or pork make me feel sleepy, lethargic, depressed and my nervous system is masked if that makes sense. I feel like ive taken a pain killer when i eat even the smallest amount of fat. I realize iam not digesting it properly but the effects of it are crazy.

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
