Are you currently supplementing with B12? A reading of 454, even though it is in a normal range, is not optimal especially in the presence of blood and neurological symptoms. It should be above 500.

Nutrients key for blood production are B12, Folate, B6, copper, iron and zinc. Supporting ones include magnesium, omega 3 and vitamin D. Get these checked out as well as a test for H.Pylori. This can help rule out things that effect blood production.

You do have a lot going on. How restrictive is your diet? Are you getting a good balance of protein, good fats and healthy carbs (vegetables & fruit).

Since carbs are a problem I would look into gluten sensitivity/celiac disease. If you are not eating gluten, the test will most likely be negative. Gluten is in so many things. Even medicines.
