    Hi, Just wondering people's opinions on b12 supplements. Ive currently had a blood test that shows I have a severe deficiency in vitamin D, I'm also anaemic and have very very low ferritin levels. I've also had borderline celiac test results however they forgot to check my b12 levels (very annoying) Im just wondering if anyone has been taking vitamin...

    Oh okay then, that's good to hear. I have that problem too. They'll go up then drop to 7-8 sometimes :/ with the blame of the monthly cycle being to blame from the doctors point of view. my iron supplements are in tablet form (ferrous sulphate) and my vitamin d3 is in liquid in the form of an ampoule. I don't know if it's a side effect but the past two...

    That's all I keep hearing, it's most likely you're monthly cycle making you anaemic :/ I'm sick of answers being a blur. i too had low ferritin levels, mine were 0.1. I didn't even see my results all he did was go through them briefly, it's like he couldn't wait to get me out the door and no matter what I say they don't listen. im just so annoyed...

    I don't know them in detail all I know is that one came back borderline :/ I'm going to change my doctors and get a second opinion. what I'm worried about is I'm taking a very high dose of vitamin d3 as prescribed by the doctor alongside calcium and if it is celiacs that I'm suffering from then surely this won't be absorbed?

    Hi all, So after 6 weeks of waiting for blood test results I finally thought i had answers. Found out my vitamin d level was 11 so was very very low and I'm still anaemic. What I'm confused about is one of my tests regarding celiac came back borderline, yet my doctor just shrugged it off and said I don't have celiacs. Should I accept that? Or demand...

    Hi all, @cyclinglady I'm trying my best at the moment. Having to consider possibly taking 6 months off my course due to how I'm feeling at the moment. Thank you for your advice, a very interesting point you make, one which ill look in to @sdlane ive previously tried the headspace app which did help. So that's one thing I am going to do again...

    Hi @cristiana, I know the feeling! I've never felt anxiety like it! My doctor said he's tested for b12 and vitamin d too. Just waiting on results. It's ruining all aspects of my life at the minute as I'm in the most toughest part of my studies

    Hi @cyclinglady, Im still eating gluten, I know it's important until tests are done. After a month I'm still waiting for blood test results it's so frustrating!!

    Hi all, Since my teenage years I've had GI problems and been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's all related to celiac. A lot of the symptoms I have and I'm currently being tested for celiac disease. I'm just wondering if people's anxiety and depression worsened prior to diagnosis? I'm at my wits...

    Thank you for clearing that up now we wait.. boo!

    Hi, When you had your endoscopy did they take biopsies? So they can check for h-pylori and celiac etc?

    Hi, Waiting on blood results at the moment, just wondering if any of you had celiac disease partly confirmed by blood results then followed with a endoscopy to confirm diagnosis? Or did you get diagnosed with an endoscopy alone?
  14. KJDx
    Waiting is definitely the hard part! People just don't understand how I feel most the time and it's so frustrating! I had them done 10th feb, but they take 7-10 working days because they've tested for quite a few things. Also the celiac screening and my vit d levels.

    Hi all, Just wondering if any of you have lower abdominal pain as well as pain above the navel?
  16. KJDx
    Glad to hear it went well @SLLRunner so you're just waiting for the results now then. One step closer to answers though! I'm still waiting for my blood test results, feeling so sick and in horrible pain tonight the sooner I know the better.
  17. KJDx
    Oh I see, well I hope all goes well keep me posted
  18. KJDx
    Hi @SLLRunner, I hope your endoscopy went well today and you are closer to getting answers
  19. KJDx
    Hi @SLLRunner Good luck with your endoscopy I know how it feels to have such horrid symptoms on a daily basis and all you want is answers. I personally feel doctors don't assess people for celiacs enough and don't have enough knowledge on the topic. As I said in my above post I got fobbed off for years with lansoprazole, esomeprazole and every...

    I have but it came back fine apparently. The doctor is also checking my vitamin D levels so we shall see. I also have tingling/numbness in my hands occasionally and the muscle and joint pain is horrible alongside the fatigue!
  21. KJDx
    I forgot to add also, my ferritin levels were 0.1 which I understand is very low. Another reason why I think celiacs is a possibility.
  22. KJDx
    Comfort food is usually the answer when I feel sorry for myself but even that I will gladly turn away right now. That is not me! Haha
  23. KJDx
    Exactly, I've done a bit of research myself and all information told me to continue eating gluten until tests were fully completed. i don't actually get a report, I just phone up my doctors and they state whether I need to see the doctor to discuss my blood results. Maybe some people do as they live in different countries or have different doctors. ...
  24. KJDx
    Oh and I'm continuing to eat gluten, I understand it's important to do so until ruling out celiac
  25. KJDx
    Thank you for your detailed response. Im not being horrible when I say this nor would I wish it on my worst enemy but it's comforting knowing I'm not alone in this so thank you. i just feel so physically mentally and emotionally drained at the moment and its taking its toll on me as well as work and my studies im hoping to get the results...
