    Very interesting, thanks. I have been taking vitamin d since surgery but am going to have all the important so called celiac supplements tested next annual physical coming up end of month. Tylenol reminds me of story on how vegetable oil ind mass campaign against coconut oil decades ago.

    knitty, I am scheduled for physical exam near eom. Would like to have b 12 etc tested. Should I stop taking supplements so as not to get false readings? Is stopping supplements for 3 weeks or so causing harm?

    Yes I forgot it is the green leafy. I just don't take drugs well. It wasn't just the inr but was also getting nose bleeds. Right now I have to figure out what I am going to do with the mri as discussed with rmj on this page and see how my weight goes. Need to get some info together before my next cardio visit so I can deal with a doc who claims celiac and...

    I was taking the non biological of folate and b12. Have since started methyl forms. Looking forward to some healing.

    I was on coumadin for a while after surgery and had a lot of trouble with vitamin k which pretty much curtailed how many veggies I could eat. The constant testing for vitamin k was expensive and a nuisance. I plan to ask doc if nsaid can be taken every other day instead of daily.

    Thanks rmj. I should have taken the mri already but I do not take the tunnel well. I thought I would wait to see how the blood test goes. I am also feeling a little bit better about regaining 5 pounds over the last few weeks stalling out at 149 for last several days. The assistant to doc told me today that she would look into an open mri but if I continue...

    If there was a decimal in the original189 I probably would not have seen that either. I just got new bifocals distance and reading but still use my old readers for my desktop computer. Obviously need to do something about that - some day. So in short the reading has gone DOWN from 189 to 22.6. Very interesting point about nsaids. I have gone from multiple...

    Thanks Knitty. Last b12 test taken 6 mo following surgery was middle of the range. I recently switched to methyl forms of folate and 12. I do the other supplements that you mentioned. I stopped all dairy and eat one egg per day. I was drinking 8 oz of kefir daily but stopped that few weeks ago. I will try it again if weight gain continues and see what happens...

    I'm very sorry for confusion. I replied to my original post and explained that I did not see the decimal point. In reality the number went down from 189 to 22.6 three months later. The gastro office called today and the assistant said the doc sees it as good progress. Said nothing about weight loss or constipation.

    My apologies. Senior moment, I blindly missed the decimal point. TT IGA was 22.6 not 226. Seems that I should be feeling better with the improvement so there might be another problem.

    I lost 36 pounds (180 to 144) over several months after bypass surgery and became constipated last few months. Blood test and endoscopy indicated celiac. Negligible health improvement 3 months later so doc ordered blood work and mri on small intestine which I still have not taken. The blood work, however, has me stumped as the tt IGA went up from 1...
