i'm just heading off for a checkup from the doctor (an MOT as we call it in the UK) - a good
opportunity to double check that being veggy for 30 years and vegan for 8 has not had any
undesirable effects on my body. Does anybody know of any specific tests that i could request. I
presume iron and cholesterol levels are routinely covered, but can tests be done for B12 or
omega 3 etc.?

B12 is quite checkable. If you're not supplementing or not a sunshine fiend, worry a bit about D as
well. They can check that. If you're concerned, get a 25-OH D level.Low D can spell an osseous disaster.
I don't think omega 3's are readily checkable.
