Most Likely Deficiencies With Iron Anemia?

I've recently been diagnosed with celiac (biopsy and blood test), I actually asked for the blood test after I found out I was severely iron anemic. My regular doctor doesn't really know what else (other vitamen deficiencies) to test me for, what else should I have checked? I asked to be tested for D and B and they were fine, but I want to check anything else that might be off, and I can't see the celiac doctor for months.

Thanks!

Hmm, odd that he would say he doesn't know what else to test you for. There is a specific panel that tests for enzyme levels, etc in your blood. It would include B12, iron, D, etc.

      @N00dnutt, been there, done that! Cheers!

      @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I'll be reading slower in future so I don't skim over the subject matter. Cheers.

      @Knitty_Kitty Noted with appreciation.

      @N00dnutt, as OP explained earlier, she had a gastroscopy done earlier while she had been eating plenty of gluten for months. It was negative despite strong positive antibody scores.

      The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
