What are you doing now to get those nutrient/vitamin numbers up? Your B12 is still way too low. It needs to be above 500. It appears you are still not getting everything out of your food as a result of the celiac.

B12, folate, B6, iron, zinc and copper are the major hitters. Zinc is also good for testosterone production. Copper, zinc and iron need to be in balance. Too much of or too little of one will through off the others.

Are you on hormone replacement? Testosterone can help red cell production.

Weekly b12 shots is not usually enough to restore your B12. A more aggressive approach should be looked into. You can supplement orally with the methyl form of B12 also.
