Home test for vitamin deficiencies

[cody12]

Is there a home test I can do to see what vitamins im lacking in?

No there isn't. You'll need to have your blood drawn at a lab. Talk to your GI or regular doctor about having these tests done.

There are some tests available commercially for e.g. for Vitamin D2 and D3 deficiency. But they are expensive and I do not see a valid reason for anyone to make the investment just to check one vitamin level.

A comprehensive blood test for deficiencies for a Crohn's patient includes vitamins D, B6, B12 plus mineral deficiencies - iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc etc. It's quite a spectrum of things that should be tested and thus you need a lab doing it (those tests costs quite a bit).
