So... I looked up which tests I should ask for on STTM. I was also thinking of asking for allergy tests for Gluten, etc.

What other tests should I ask for? Not sure she will give them to me but its worth a shot.

    I'd ask for tests to check for:

    Gluten sensitivity
    Fasting blood sugar/insulin
    Vitamin D and B12 levels (generally deficient in people with thyroid issues)
    Insulin resistance

    I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of them right now.

    I would also recommend a BMP and Total Cholesterol... That would require a 12hr fasting..
