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.

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...
