You really need those numbers! Doctors call normal anything above 250, which is still too low. To heal you should be at least at 1000 or so.
Also you need the other B-complex vitamins, and some magnesium, and a test for Vit D levels.
Many nutrients are affected by Celiac, not just B12.
You could be low in B6, folate, riboflavin etc as well.
To repair nerves the body uses B6, folate, B12, essential fatty acids in the Omega-3 family plus methyl donor foods (root veggies like beets). Omega-3's are metabolized by magnesium and B6, and B6 is activated in the body by riboflavin B2.
It gets pretty complicated when you malabsorb nutrients.
