Amazing - I haven't been following the group for almost a year - and find
the usual knowledgable persons writing, helping each other - nice - and my
G... if it isn't the same old idiot still talking iron...

Well, I am in need of a clever head who perhaps by chance can come up with
an idea.
I am in my mid40'es - had my gall bladder removed a couple of years ago.
Feel quite fit, though a couple of pounds extra cannot be denied.
I contacted my GP after having had my homocysteine measured - just for fun -
a promotional gimmick from a company - it was of course elevated (!).
Well, never have a sample taken if you are not up to taking the
consequenses!
It was discovered that I suffered b12 and folic acid deficiency - and yes, I
was tired and my hair was falling off and was "lifeless" (so much for
feeling fit!) - hey, my father was bald, and my younger brother is , too- I
am now back to normal after having had a series of injections and am now on
oral medication. I am still tired - who isn't? My hair is back to its normal
grey!
Problem was that I now got in the hands of my GP - and he took several
tests - all except the vit Bs and gamma GT were OK. I know that if enough
parameters are analysed you are bound to find something out of range. Only -
my GGT irritates me. And I know that it has not always been too high.
My GP suspected I had a drinking problem because of the elevated GGT -  I do
not drink - and my CDT% is normal. I didn't drink a drop for half a year -
well, then everyone thought I did have a problem and started questioning it
;-)  -anyway,  it was still elevated. So now I drink - I think I may reach
maybe two sixpacks of beer this year - and perhaps a bottle or two of
redwine. Thats it! (Maybe not quite, but that is about the level of it -
there are months I don't drink any alcohol at all - )
I know that some 20 years ago my GGT was normal - when I was educated I had
several runs on my own samples on all kinds of parameters - just for fun, I
mean training.... I have discussed this with my gp, but he is kind of
hesitating to accept that I simply have no reason for this elevation. He
can't come up with any idea, that I can't "reject" - no alcohol, no
medication, nor OTCs. No other enzymes are elevated.And - I do not in any
way feel sick.
So any suggestions are welcome - what can cause my GGT to rise - any ideas??
