They should also have highlighted your very low vitamin D as well
The fact folate, ferritin and B12 are all low suggests low stomach acid or possibly gluten intolerance
Certainly a possible gut issue like malabsorption
You don't appear to have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease) as antibodies are low
Take results to GP for treatment for low ferritin. They should do full iron panel for testing for anemia. You may need iron infusion, certainly iron supplements
I will add in humanbean as the iron and ferritin guru
Low folate (can't see the results) needs treating, but not really before testing for Pernicious Anaemia as your B12 is also on low side, though GP may not agree
Vitamin D needs supplementing to bring level up to around 80- 100nmol
Ask GP to run blood test for coeliac disease as possible cause of low vitamin levels. If positive you will need an endoscopy to confirm
Regardless of coeliac test result, you may find strictly gluten free diet helps
But you might ask for referral to gastroenterologist first
Thanks for response. Is there any particular type of ferritin ,folate , zinc I should be taking? Should I also be taking vitamin C as Iv heard you need vitamin C for iron supplements.
Also how do you test if you have sibo/candida ? An alternative practitioner did tell me I may have this .
Ah, OK, you had Tg antibodies and TRAB tested. I've never seen that combination before. That's very interesting! People usually have the package that contains Tg and TPO antibodies. Those two are for Hashi's.
Vit D needs to be 100-150nmol/L according to the Vit D Council. You should be supplementing with D3, 5000iu daily and retest in 3 months. When you've reached the recommended level you need a maintenance dose which you find by trial and error, it may be 2000iu or more or less. Retest twice a year to keep within the recommended level.
Cofactors K2-mk7 and magnesium are necessary when taking D3. Magnesium helps D3 to work and K2 directs the extra uptake of calcium from food to bones and teeth and away from arteries and soft tissues.
B12 should be over 500 according to Sally Pacholok in her book "Could it be B12". Anything below that level means that deficiencies can begin to appear in the cerebrospinal fluid. Sublingual methylcobalamin will raise your level and when taking B12 we need a good B Complex to balance all the B vitamins.
With such a low level of Ferritin you should speak to your GP. You need an iron panel and full blood count to see if you have iron deficiency anaemia.
