Sorry to revive this old post. Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly... -

interesting! I have never been tested on zinc before so it could very well be that I've indeed been deficient for years.

And another blood level result just came in. This time zinc. Normal zinc levels are between 12 and 18 nnmol/l. My zinc level is 9,3 so it's pretty low. Is this common in glutensensitivity/IBS/celiac? and any tips on how to best supplement this deficiency?

Will give it a try! Thanks!

Hmm never thought of it that way! I take 2000 IU of vitamin D daily. Been doing so for years. My vitamin d level was 'only' 96 nmol/l.

I had another blood test done on Wednesday to check my minerals and vitamins. My vitamin D level was ok although lower that I thought it would considering I have been taking quite a high dose supplement. Vitamin b12 was also ok. Still waiting for zinc and the other vitamin b levels. What I did find curious is my folate level. Normal range here in the Netherlands...

I indeed had the tTG-IGA test twice. I will stick with my gluten free diet for sure since it definately does benefit me. A shame that there is no test for NCGS.

Btw. There are no healthcare benefits in the Netherlands when diagnosed with celiac disease..

Thanks for the replies. I never had a biopsy for celiac only the bloodtest. My IGA was 1,72 and 2 the second time.I was eating bread at the time but not much. Eating much bread always made me nauseous. Are there more markers in a blood test that are important for celiac testing? I have all the reports but don't know what to look for. I don't know if...

Dear forum members, for as long as I can remember I have had stomach and digestive problems as wel as anxiety and (light) depression type symptoms. I have had my gallblader removed due to stones, but that didn't change my symptoms. I have been tested for celiac twice but both times the test result was negative. According to my doctor I have severe IBS...
