Getting blood test for nutrients not found in common blood test

[Eliotf]

I have a few questions for the group. First my background information: I am in the USA. My diet/eating habits probably won’t change. My eating habits are only ok. My blood is drawn all the time: cbc, wbc, etc and every 6 months my complete thyroid panel is drawn. I have hashimotos, CLL and they are well controlled and /or stable It’s the dermatomyositis and a few other disorders that seems to flare up. I will be going to a naturalpath & nutritionist/dietitian. My questions are: what nutrition blood panels & or specific tests can I run for a more fuller picture and to see the less common nutrients? Are those freeze dried ‘super greens supplements’ any good ? And of course I am also looking for micronutrients and finally the magic ingredient/pill.

Hi, from soggy UK! Very interested to see how you get on. I have Polymiositis/Dermatamyositis, Arthritis etc,etc... taking various drugs.I've been feeling rotten for some time, and feel that diet/herbal supplements etc may be worth looking into.

I have a blood test on Thursday looking at the same as yourself hopefully, so will see if I can find anything useful to report.

I'm also Gluten intolerant, which I think affects nutrient absorption and my state of health.

Any results and suggestions from my GP I'll let you know!

Kind regards.
