Default Copper is Low!

I spoke to my new neuro yesterday and found out my copper is low. The only info I know of that could make someone be low in copper is malabsorption.
I went gluten free 4 months ago when this SMF attacked me full force and have been ever since. I'm waiting to see if things improve.

Anyway,
My only abnormal blood results are:

high monocytes in CSF
high lymphocytes in CSF
mean cell volume high
low ferritin
low myoglubin
low copper
elevated B-6 (do not eat fortified food or take that supp)

Any of that mean anything to you experienced PNers?
The doc isn't convinced the copper is causing my PN and autonomic problems, but then, he is the one who decided to check it when he looked at my other results..... so ???? He said it would be safe to take 2mg a day
