Have you ever been tested for celiac/gluten sensitivity in the past (before eliminating gluten from your diet)?
And, what other testing have you had that you can specifically report on--any nerve studies, toxicity tests?

I had a whole slew of vitamin/mineral levels tested done in January, and the only thing that came back low was b12 and zinc. I know that I have malabsorption because of how long I've had the colitis and the yeast overgrowth. I was tested for celiac/gluten sensitivity years ago, but it came back negative. But taking it out of my diet twelve years ago made a significant difference in keeping the colitis in check. Haven't had any tests for my nerves or toxicity. Where would I go to do that?
And does anyone know whether the pain I'm feeling is two different things? I mean, does the muscle soreness sound like PN or something else? Thanks!
