What Vitamins/minerals Should I Check For Deficiency?

I posted this in the pre-testing forum too (meant to post in post--oops!)

Our 4 year old has celiac, and we will be seeing the allergist this week for his environmental allergies. While they are doing a blood draw, I am hoping to get add'l blood drawn to have our pediatrician run a check on his iron and B12 levels. What else should I have her check? He has been off gluten since November of 2007 with one slip-up in July of this year.

Thanks for any suggestions---want to avoid poking him too many times.

I don't know for a little one, especially who has been gluten-free this long. Is he still having symptoms or are you just checking?

I had profound deficiencies of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Most of the testing was not by conventional labs though.

Vit D? Calcium/magnesium? Amino acids?

Sorry, can't really say for sure.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
