I did a number of lab tests recently at Quest Diagnoistics, things my usual clinic doesn't do or I wanted to see results before putting them on my official record. Some were things I was curious about, others things I learned about here. There were a few that stood out. I'll attach below.
I'm looking for what experiences you have had with these. Have you had any similar results? Opinions (I won't take anything as medical advice) on what they mean? I know from reading here that some of these issues have come up, and I value your experience.
I will be going over these with my primary doc, but honestly I doubt he'll know much about what to do with them, and of course it takes a bit of time just to be seen. Specialists? 2nd quarter, next year at the earliest. Anyway, here you go:
My Gastro doc had run the Immunoglobulin A, and it came back low. That was a different lab, Labcorp, and a few days earlier, so maybe some natural variation there.
B12 was also high (1460, which is not too far above lab range), but I had been supplementing it strongly on the advice of my functional med doc, who is now retired. I don't know if that can affect B6, I would expect not, but the body is not a simple machine.
I discuss the circumstances around the B6 in this post, although I think it best to move any discussion to this thread.
Again, I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.
