Have you been checked for a type of anemia called "pernicious anemia" in which the gut lacks something called "intrinsic factor" and cannot absorb B12?

Shouldn’t my doctor be telling me more?

There is also something called "seronegative celiac disease" in which there is damage to the villous lining of the small bowel but no celiac antibodies are produced by the immune system.
