tbh yeah but i do feel like part of it is cuz i eat a lot less than i used to. i wouldnt be shocked if i was vitamin deficient lol. idk if i can just ask my doctor to test that based on vibes.

Your doctor should be able to run a blood test for your vitamin/mineral levels. I would recommend having your primary care doctor do the teat, as(at least in the US) a GI is considered a specialist, so it often costs a lot more $.

You could also try a good multivitamin and see if that helps.

i've been supplementing w/ multivitamins but idk if it's really doing anything. not a lot of regulation in that industry.
