I should have mentioned I had my B12 checked a few weeks ago and the levels are excellent, so that's not it. Unfortunately. That would be sooooo much easier than eating gluten-free. Since I'm not celiac, I don't have the malabsorbtion problems they do and most of my levels are quite normal except Vitamin D, for which I'm taking a 1x week 50,000 IU to boost it up. Coming off a long, dark, sunless winter, it's not surprising the D is low.

Being celiac or not doesn't have all that much to do with malabsorption problems. I have double DQ1 genes and neuropathy, along with malabsorption issues, sleep apnea, CFS, raynauds, gluten ataxia....but not a diagnosis of celiac...well, my PCP says I am celiac, Quest Labs says I am not. Gluten makes me sicker than most celiac's I know. I was B12, Vit D, and ferritin deficient because of gluten.
