Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a good multi-vitamin? My GI and doc have said nothing, nor advised on additional appointments or tests, even though my levels were through the roof. I have been trying to get a referral to another doc, but with no luck as the hospital system does not have any docs with experience treating Celiac patients. I cannot wait until January when I can change my insurance to a PPO.......

I lost 20+ pounds before I was diagnosed in a short period of time, so I know I was not absorbing nutrients, and I want to help my body get healty, so your advice is welcome!

Thanks!

I take Nature Made Multi Complete. It is gluten free (says on the label).

Good Luck -- hope things get worked out with your insurance/dr situation

I too, take Nature Made multi's. There are many vitamin companies that list the gluten status on their bottles now. You can also order from Lame Advertisement.com, they tell if the product is gluten free, I use Country Life vitamins from Lame Advertisement, some CVS vitamins are gluten free: type "gluten free vitamins" in your browser and see what you find!

Even though they are Children's vitamins, I take Yummi Bears multi-vitamin and mineral. They taste good, and they don't upset my tummy. Open Original Shared Link

Oh, one more thought. When I was first diagnosed, I had lost about 12 pounds and had trouble eating anything. All the vitamins I tried back then made me my stomach hurt. Basically, I was always nauseated. I used to drink an Ensure daily, to help keep my weight up and get some extra vitamins. It was a little easier on my stomach, and it really helped while my body was healing. Good luck - I hope you feel better soon.

When I visited my pharmacy I found i had been preceded by another Celiac who had prompted the pharmacist to do his research on gluten. Of the whole wall of vitamins the only ones he was able to verify as gluten-free was:

Jamieson Calcium Citrate

Jamieson Regular Vita-Vim

The take home message that I got from that exercise that any pill I might be offered in the future was very likely to contain gluten.

I found a super huge bottle from Costco that says "gluten-free" right on the label. I like the kids' chewable ones since the adult ones aren't vegetarian.

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
