Yes, a nutritionist should be able to order tests for nutritional deficiencies.  Test for magnesium, Vitamin D, and iron.

Blood tests for the B vitamins are not accurate.  The best way to test for deficiencies is to take B Complex and Benfotiamine and look for improvement.

I like Life Extension, and Nature's Way.  Yes, available on Amazon.  Stay away from rice flour fillers.

Keep in mind that blood tests for nutritional deficiencies may not be valid if you are already taking vitamin supplements. That may mask deficiencies.

so just to update, Ive been watching what i eat to see what symptoms i develop. one of them is a clogged ear. I noticed a few months ago my ear would clog up every morning and had no idea why. since Ive stopped eating gluten it no longer occurs. I had instant rice two days ago (non gluten free) and developed the clogged ear shortly after eating. yesterday i had gluten free rice and for the last two days no clogged ear. weird stuff. im also noticing fats from eggs or pork make me feel sleepy, lethargic, depressed and my nervous system is masked if that makes sense. I feel like ive taken a pain killer when i eat even the smallest amount of fat. I realize iam not digesting it properly but the effects of it are crazy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
