You're welcome, Stephy, and I'm learning a bit from reading from you too. :)
Nutrition is a pretty unique puzzlegame. May you soon have an AHA moment. ;)
I have no experience beyond what I wrote about in the arena of amino acid deficiency.
>> Also... i gotta agree that my problems only started after going vegan but i cant tell if it was only
Iodine deficiency which is common on a vegan diet or something else.
Try 3 months on carefully testing chosen animal protien sources, and tell us your results. It'd be important to maintain the same rate of
Iodine dosing, and to journal so you can sort what you find.
Self-testing is your personal chosen method, so it's likely the best route to test, yes?
I'd say the best cruelty-free source of what you're likely needing, long-chain essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, 9, etc) is free-range organic eggs. If you've got a decent garden, let your hens have fun nibbling in the grass! The morning eggs are generally unfertilized, and the white and yolk are both clean and complete food sources. Hens produce best when they are much loved, and it is not necessary to feed them alone on grains.
short-chain EFAs like from flax seed oil and plant sources are not conjugated very effeciently into the long-chain form which the metabolisim prefers. This you can also google yourself. :)
A shortage in long-chain EFAs hampens the glutathione cycle - which is otherwise b12, b6, folate and mineral dependent.
I also wanted to ask, what conditions are you attempting to treat?
Iodine may be compensating for the long-chain fatty acid issue.
Mercola covers the difference on short-chain essential fatty acids and long-chain essential fatty acids exceptionally well. You may be able find similar articles in german.

Long-chain EFAs are also available from krill and fish-oil sources, and in raw milk.
