I totally understand how you feel.

You CAN start B12 treatment NOW... what are you doing for that?

We have a wonderful resource here --the Gluten forum, with a link to this amazing information, that was gathered by a woman who was in your position not too long ago.

Here is my B12 informational thread:

You can only do so much in a day. I'd start NOW with the B12 supplements. After your testing, you can then start on the GF diet.
Other nutrients are lost with diarrhea, which comes from IBS.
One is magnesium. If this gets really low, you can have anxiety and trouble sleeping etc.

Because doctors won't do this for you, we have done the gathering of info for people who are stuck and hurting. But YOU have to read it, and perhaps more than once to learn it.

Each day, you can make some changes in your diet, pantry and life. It does not happen overnight...but when you start to feel better eventually, you will understand how much power you hold over of your health.

So for now, just do the B12 supplements. You will start to feel better soon. That will give you strength for the rest of your journey.

my doctor wont let me take suplements till ive had all my test done dosent make sence to me the say they want to get to the root cause first. Do you think 185 is very low???

Yes, I do. That does not make sense, to take B12... I don't understand that. I'd get clarification from your doctor.

Im going to go to the doctors tomorrow thankyou for your help its nice ti have someone to talk to. I also have my test for cd on friday too, fingers crossed!!!!!
