We just can't trust these blood tests in general, can we! Everyone you ask has a different answer !! B12 in particular has many variables, like the ranges considered normal, and intrinsic factor,

Anyway, I think for anyone with idiopathic p.n, it is always worth a shot to cut out gluten for as long as possible, then re introduce and note any symptoms.

Another thing I wanted to ask is if you have ever considered candida ? This is yeast overgrowth. A quick Google search will explain , if you're not familiar. The possible symptoms go on and on. You mentioned brain fog, mood swings and anxiety. I remember these in particular from working at a health food store for years.

Food for thought :-)
lined_in_silver,
Thank you for your post.
Candida may always be a possibility. I was reading a long list of the symptoms and I have some of them, e.g. brain fogginess, memory problems, bloating, etc. I dont have though the skin problems like mouth thrushes, rashes, etc. Its confusing because most of the symptoms can also be the symptoms of other diseases.

I am not sure if the testing for bacteria overgrowth (stool and blowing - I could not remember now the name of the test where you ingest sugar and you blow) is same for Candida. I had the test I mentioned but its negative. Does this rule me out?

i had a biopsy of the small intestine and celiac was ruled out.
