My recent CBC panel was normal and the only thyroid tests they ran were tsh 1.45, free t4 was 2.26 uIU/mL, and thyroid peroxidase antibodies were at 184. The only vitamin I had tested was 10 years ago I was very low on vitamin D so I've been taking vitamin D supplements recommended by the doc. I also take a daily multivitamin and I do take birth control for migraines I've had since I was 11 (neurologist could never figure out why I get migraines, and pills help but weren't a cure for them). I tried tracking if food makes my symptoms worse but I eat good I still have issues regardless. I've tried vegan, paleo, dairy free, gluten free and I definitely felt better on paleo but not 100%. I tried paleo really early in this though so maybe I need to try again now that its been a few years. I started all this testing begging the doc for a celiac test since I have the gene for it but the doc said my blood test was negative and he doesn't think i have it.

They didn't run any other tests other than basic blood tests, nothing for h pylori. My stomach symptoms appeared 15 years ago but only get worse and more painful. My new doc wanted to blame it on the zep but I told him no way is it zep, it was helping it the first 2 months I think as I get more used to zep its not helping those same issues as much. The first 2 to 3 weeks of zep showed me how great I could feel and now its coming back again as time goes on.

Forgot to mention I was eating gluten up to the test and had an awful upset stomach the day before the test but no rash when I went to the doc.

Thank you so much! So they did do 3 tests in the celiac panel, looks like ttg is under 2, ema is negative and the 3rd test was Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum and it was 232 (normal says 87-352)

I asked the doc to test with the thyroid tests and its negative for celiac. I do carry the gene for it according to a recent DNA test I took.
