Non-Antibody Blood Tests For Celiac

Hi all,

I was wondering what blood tests are important when celiac is in suspicion. I already know of the antibody tests but I was wondering things like vitamins, red blood cell count etc... What should I have tested now? I have had every other non celiac related antibody test under the sun to make sure there is nothing else going on autoimmune wise and they all were negative.

So far I know of vitamin B12, D, Ferritin, and red blood cell count.

In addition to B12, D and Ferritin:

B1, K, Iron, Copper and Zinc

I'm pretty my doc tests B2 and B6 as well...I'd have to double check those.

Ok great, so B12, B1, K, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Ferritin, Red blood cell count.

What about glucose fasting? I heard hypoglecemia can occur from celiac, does anyone know if that is true? My fasting glucose in august was 3.8 but I was on bactrim which apparently will cause that so I am retesting it after I get rid of the H. Pylori.

I've never had sugar issues. Only abnormal tests were celiac antibodies, nutrients and slightly elevated liver enzymes - abnormal liver numbers were after many years of undx'd celiac.

Like the autoantibody tests, the vitamin tests can be misleading. My autoantibodies were off the chart but my vitamin levels were great; in fact B12 was higher than normal. My only low vit was D and it was still inside of the "normal" range... not bad for a Canadian. LOL

      I am not taking anything except for the multivitamins that I purchased from the supermarket.

      The critic acid and sodium citrate is corn unfortunately and they don’t have to label corn because it’s not part of the top 9 allergen and not mandatory 😭

      Yaya, from the JAMA study you refer to: "Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity." No one on this forum is recommending  taking anywhere near that amount. We're talking about 5-10,000IU daily.

      "Doses higher than the RDA are sometimes used to treat medical problems such as vitamin D deficiency, but these are given only under the care of a doctor for a specified time frame. Blood levels should be monitored while someone is taking high doses of vitamin D." Quoted from the Healthline article @Yaya linked above...
