Have been reading your post above - of one month ago. How are you doing with the GF eating plan ? Low B12 can cause painful feet and Low VitD can be involved in painful joints.
Doctor ain’t told me anything not even gf
Something I eat just goes straight out the other end I know that’s a bit to much info
Sounds as if you should be gluten free. Don't wait for your Doc to tell you things - make a list of your questions and obtain copies of your results. You are legally entitled to copies of your results so you can make a start on your journey ...

What is your current Vit D level?
How much D3 are you taking?
Are you taking it correctly as pointed out in your previous thread here
Essential to regularly retest folate, vitamin D and ferritin
800iu vitamin D is often not high enough dose
Folic acid supplements were stopped?
See you are on B12 injections so no point testing B12
You need TSH, FT3 and FT4 tested
Do you have recent blood test results and ranges you can add
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. Do not take Levothyroxine dose in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take immediately after blood draw. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
Is this how you do your tests?
Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or all vitamins

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have special offers, Medichecks usually have offers on Thursdays, Blue Horizon its more random
