Vitamins and minerals

[Michellea]

Hi so I have Hashimotos and GP testing me for coeliac disease.

TPO antibody 445 (<34) TG antibody 356.3 (<115)

Vitamin B12 236 (190 - 900)

Folate 2.3 (2.5 - 19.5)

Vitamin D 26.7

Ferritin 44 (30 - 400)

Thanks for any advice, I am not feeling too good right now. Taking 3x ferrous fumarate and 800iu D3.

SeasideSusie has the best vitamins advice. SlowDragon can give you links to gluten free advice.

Here's SeasideSusie reply to similar low levels

Vitamin D, it's almost endemic this inability of GP's to actually prescribe the right dose. 800iu is never going to improve levels, especially for anyone with Hashimoto's

Improving vitamins, increase in Levo AND strictly gluten free will all help

Push GP for date of endoscopy. Regardless of result go gluten free straight after.

Also avoid all soya including soya lecithin if possible. There is some chocolate with out if you look hard enough!

Also flouride, change to fouride free toothpaste and check your tap water doesn't have flouride added (most don't) if it does, buy bottled

I have had loads of problems with my stomach tested for coeliac couple of times. Also have hashi thyroid.

I had allergy testing done turns out I was allergic to a few things and it was what I was putting between the bread. Not actual bread. Worth checking if you Are allergic to sodium nitrate. Amazing difference since I have cut that sour along with milk and yogurt. My other allergies.

Good luck.
