Thiamine? That might be possible. I had a blood test last week and everything was in range - red blood cells up to 150 from 80 but feel same symptoms.
Dietician called today so I went and had another test (5 bottles) to determine:
Tissue transglutaminases.
Endomysial antibody.
Haematinics: B12, Folate, Ferritin and Vitamin D.

Interesting, most weeks I can drink below the govt recommendation limit 14 units, with approx 2 days off between drinking (only evening after food). Once my health returns I ideally want to cut down more . I'm bringing it up with the nutritionist on Tuesday.
The only thing that didn't give me grief since diagnosis is that I have no craving for gluten...
You are absolutely right there's days that feel like your back at zero, but really the progress is much greater on the chart. I have journals and a mind app that literally plots a mood chart 📉📈... it's kind of the only reference point that works right now.

Hope you get your test soon, and discover a way...
Forgot to mention I've also upped my Vitamin D, really covering every base!
It's likely the mental issues and fatigue started about 20 years back (during what I assumed were "unexplained IBS symptoms") but the increase was so gradual that it masks the scale of the problem. Also it's hard to see a change in focus and mood when they actively muddy critical...
I'm 38m I was diagnosed 27th of June after years of fatigue and bowel issues. Damage was clearly visible and rated Marsh 3b.
Been strictly avoiding gluten since just before endoscopy (~25th June). Have severe anaemia 82g/ml and couldn't absorb iron in the following 3 months. I had an iron infusion 3 weeks ago today, and often feel worse than I did before...
