does anyone have any advice on maintaining levels of fat soluble vitamins. I suspect I am not making enough bile -hence poor digestion. dietician suspects bile acid malabsorption. I cannot digest fat well and dietician told me to go on high carb high protein diet with protein intake between meals to

Is it RA?
Hi, Really worried, got horrific shoulder pain and stiffness almost overnight.....been in real pain and got in touch with my GP. He sent me for X-rays and blood tests. CPR was raised, vitamin D slightly lower than recommended at 49. My x-rays showed arthritis in both shoulders and one elbow.....still

Supplimenting Vit B12 and Folate - how much?
Hello,My recent blood test shows: Ferritin 107ug/l (30-250) B12 377ng/l (200-900) Folate 4.7ug/l (3-20.50) (they forgot to test for Thyroid, so I have got to book in again for that...) I have checked previous messages and think that my Folate is low and B12 could be improved. There are supplements

Blood Test Results.
Some of you will remember it took me a month to get blood test results because in the first instance the Doc who arranged them wanted to give me the results. Made about 3 appointments which were cancelled because he changed his working days or whatever so eventually decided that just to get the results

Conjecture
I use conjecture as part of my creative process. Thing is I do not pretend it is anything but conjecture. Using those who share their experience on this forum it seems to me that of the three forms readily commercially available Methylcobalamin has the most profound effect. As a person who is not

Is it OK to take 2 different types of B1 at the same time? with HDT, B1 Therapy, etc.
I am currently having success with taking my sweet spot for TTFD (17.5mg) one day and my sweet spot for B1 hcl oral (1000mg) the next [Why both - TTFD elevates my mood* better than just B1 hcl oral]. Problem: I have a bad neck and I have to take more pain relievers on TTFD days. Which creates another

Help with next appointment following loading doses
Following a B12 of 194ng/L (187 - 883) in August, in Sept it was 208. MMA and Folate both “normal” but Homocysteine was slightly above range so I have been given 6 loading doses and daily Folic Acid. (I don’t have the actual results other than the B12). I didn’t have any really noticeable response

Am I going the wrong way? ⬇️
Morning lovely people, my GP lowered my Thyroxin to 75mg from 100mg a month ago in order to get my TSH levels up, which have barely moved in ten years and were at 0.01 for ages and ages. This happened after I was prescribed T3 by a specialist just over ten years ago who has now even struck off. I can

Blood Test for vits (and thyroid)
Hello all. Following advice from SlowDragon, got GP to agree to Vit testing as T3 low and as SlowDragon though they would, they drew blood for Thyroid levels , too! Must say here, too, after GPS lowered my Levo, because I had too many hypo symptoms return, I upped the dose from 175 to 200 as on 200

Calling for B6 test results in PD: Unveiling the dosage dilemma
It is remarkable that there is no known study where guidelines are given on the degree of B6 supplementation while a good B6 balance is crucial in PD treatment. Through HU, I have gathered a database of B6 test results from PD patients. Some from PWP without supplementation, and some with. Preliminary

GP Consultation
Well, I had my f2f GP consultation today and I was pleasantly surprised by his reaction. All bloods were within range (?) and there was no other cause for concern although there was no T4 or T3 test, only TSH. I went ready for a battle armed with various printouts but thankfully it wasn’t needed as

Ferritin levels
I have collected my blood test results and am looking for information before my g.p. follow up appointment tomorrow.I am under the impression that ferritin levels should be "optimum" in order for my B12 injections to work for pernicious anaemia.
