Micro-nutrient Testing

Hi all,

It will be 5 years in the summer since I started my diet. I have been wanting to test to see where my diet is lacking in terms of vitamins and minerals. I cannot find many reviews about the micro-nutrient testing. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I really don't want to involve a doctor.

I am still struggling with histamine/gut issues. I really want to see what my copper level is to see if this may be part of my increasing problem with histamine intolerance. Sadly, I am still unable to take many supplements and don't see being able to in the future. I think pinpointing one that my diet is lacking would really be beneficial. Taking zyrtec daily helps me to live a somewhat normal life, but I don't want to be dependent on it.

Thank you all so much for your help!

AnyLabTestNow (walk-in lab) lists a couple of micronutrient panels. Scroll way down to the Wellness Panels listed at the link below:

That listing is probably for Austin,TX labs, but the tests offered are probably the same everywhere. I've never used these labs, so I have no idea how accurate the tests might be.

I still have to watch my histamine intake levels like a hawk to make sure that I don't exceed my tolerance levels.

thank you Tex, I found one not too far from me! We have accumulated some money in our Health Savings Account, so I think I am going to get this done.

I can always tell when I start itching that my gut will soon react. This winter has been very mild so I haven't gotten any allergy relief like I usually do. My mom's daisies are starting to bloom. I dread the spring. I keep telling myself to get back on my stricter diet.
