Cholesterol And Vitamin Issues

I am 8 months into my new life ( positive for celiac thru blood tests.) I had a panel of tests run yesterday to see how my numbers are looking. Celiac panel isn't back yet but my cholesterol came back. Both good and bad were high. Plus, vitamin d and b12 were still really low. Is there a correlation to this? I was told to start taking supplements. What is a recommended brand of gluten-free vitamins? Thanks!

Welcome to our community.

B12 deficiency is very common in folks with celiac disease, both before and after diagnosis. Any vitamin deficiency may be related to damage to the villi, which can take a long time to recover after going gluten-free.

Cholesterol highes and lows seem common in celiacs. The system wide inflammation can help raise cholesterol, and then some of us have too low cholesterol (I'm guessing from issues with absorbing fats). I'm glad your HDL is looking good. Many celiacs find the LDL comes down as they cut many grains (and the sugar it creates) from their diet.

 

Sublingual (dissolves in mouth) B12 and D are a great place to start. Vitamins absorbed into the mouth are thought to work better for celiacs. Most drugstores will carry those.

 

Best wishes

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.
