mnburis, I'm concerned about your symptoms, especially the diarrhea being so frequent. I experienced pellagra after prolonged diarrhea. The symptoms are diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia and death. Pellagra is a deficiency of niacin (B 3). With your vitamin D and B 12 already diagnosed as low, you're very likely to be low in all the other vitamins and minerals as well. The eight B vitamins are water soluble and need to be replenished every day. The B vitamins all work together. All should be supplemented if one is low. Large doses of B 12 by itself can cause folate deficiency anemia if you're low in folate (B 9) already. Ask your doctor about other vitamin deficiencies. The easy ones to test for are D and B12. Tell your doctor how severe your diarrhea is. Ask about pellagra. Here's some more information. https://www.celiac.com/articles/24658/1/A-Differential-Diagnosis-How-Pellagra-Can-be-Confused-with-Celiac-Disease/Page1.html https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/pellagra/ I really hope this helps. -

I have had NO breath tests done. Just blood, stool, colonoscopy and endoscopy. I'm sorry. I'm feeling so discouraged. I just know its going to be put down to IBS. And I personally feel that IBS is a throw away diagnosis when no one wants to investigate further.

Also, have you been tested for H. Pylori infection? I think I have seen that many ulcers can be attributed to that. It is also diagnosed with a breath test. Hang in there. Many people have been in your shoes. I wish it were easier.
