Thanks - I had read a few of these cases as well. Interestingly many of these relate to patients who have had gastric bypass surgeries as otherwise it is so rare! Appreciate the postings Marlene.

As you know I am also copper deficient with no other cause found and autoimmunity is suspected.
My ferritin is also below the normal range.
I have been supplementing since February with 2-4 mg Copper a day and just had my levels rechecked again. They will go in to the lowest of the normal range, but won't budge from there. My dr. said I could take a higher dose.
I have read about people with malabsorption syndromes and that the metals get pushed into the organs and brains so I do think about that, but that's not to say I wouldn't try a few infusions if someone would let me- especially since I don't think I could have that issue after so many years of being healthy.

Also *It's been over a year since I've had gluten, so I don't believe it is celiac.
If I had doctors willing to do the infusion or the IVIG, I'd go for the copper first and IVIG last.

I have read where copper deficiency can be a result methylation cycle problems in some. Wonder if it would be worth looking into MTHFR mutations at this point?
