Recommended Posts

Going to the Doctor tomorrow to test for Vitamin Def. I'm at least going to ask for it. Feeling some tingling in the tongue and feet....eye twitching and now headaches. WHAT test should I specifically ask for besides b12?? I want to tell the doctor what he will be testing me for!

Thanks!!

I'm not an expert here, but in light of the fact that you have no answer yet, I will give it a shot.

Common Celiac deficiencies are

Vitamin D

B 12

Zinc

Magnesium

A

E

Calcium

Other B vitamins

You could ask your Dr. what vitamins it would be important to be tested for if you are Celiac. Even if they have to google it, at least it would give you a starting place.

I'm sure mine is not a complete list.

mushroom Proficient

I would add ferritin and folate (comes under other B vitamins) to that list, and a thyroid test to boot.. Typical celiac problems.

Thanks Mushroom, I can't believe I forgot the biggies iron and folic acid.

I wanna be like you when I grow up! :D

Just got my results...

My B Vitamins, incuding Ferritin and Folate were good.

Iron Levels were good...

Thyroid great.

B12 was high 1933 (should be under 946), but I'm supplementing with sublingual 2500 daily

Vit D...11.5 Low (30-100).

The doctor didnt check me for E or A.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.
