So..I have yet to get my iron checked....I hear iron pills tend to upset peoples stomachs....and I have a fear of throwing up. I have recently discovered you can get vitamins as trans-dermal cream. Does anyone know if there is iron supplement cream? *hopeful* Otherwise...eek! I dunno what to do =\

Cook in dedicated gluten free cast iron.

Develop a fondness for putting blackstrap molasses in or on a lot of things.

Easy iron sources.

Sorry, no transdermal iron--and don't try pulverizing the tablets and taking them sublingually. I tried that, and my teeth turned black! It took years for the teeth to turn gray and eventually turn a dingy cream color.

If you seriously cannot take oral iron, you can request intravenous iron infusions. Many of us who are iron deficient and can't absorb iron receive iron in that way.

taking acid reducers will/can aggravate this issue.

Do any of you find that cast iron skillets help a lot? I think i saw something online about chewable vitamins made for this sort of thing?

I have always had a hard time taking supplaments - set off my acid stomach.

Then I had to...

Iron was a tough one. Honestly. I take Solgar gentle iron and even that made me queasy for a few weeks - then it passed. I never vomited....just felt gross.

So you can probably get through it. The nausea is usually temporary.

I honestly don't handle nausea well....I'll be a wreck as I have a severe fear of throwing up etc

Just wanted to update as I was searching and hate forums that are old and not updated...

There are many transdermal iron supplements. You just have to google it. I was looking to buy online and saw this post and felt compelled to refute the above incorrect info regarding its availability.

What is the update?  There have been transdermal iron available for years.  The problem is that it is unproven to work.   It sounds like a company is currently in the process of getting their transdermal iron patch tested and approved by the FDA.  Until then, traditional means of supplementing iron should be followed, in my personal non-medical opinion.  

As far as being available online?  I have some potential ocean beachfront property for sale in Arizona.  ?

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
