Advice On Supplements

Can anyone recommend a good gluten-free multi-vitamin? I've tried a few, but keep having bad reactions to them. Even though they say "Gluten Free" on the label, I feel glutened a few hours after taking them.

Is there any reason why a supposedly gluten-free multi-vitamin would do this? I don't really understand how these supplements work with the body, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any other food allergies/intolerances.

Thanks!

I use Nature Made.

When are you taking them? Do you eat/drink something at the same time? I find I can't take vitamins in the morning, no matter what I eat with them (especially ones that contain iron). I take mine at lunch or dinner time and it's much better.

I am SO happy with Country Life, aside from being truly gluten free, they are the only vitamins I take religiously and swallow/tolerate easily. I take the balanced coenzyme B complex, the Easy Iron which is awesome, a unique form of iron that is better absorbed and easy on the stomach, and also their Vitamin D 5000 units. The pills are vegetable capsules, not huge tablets of iron either which is awesome. I FEEL the difference when I do not take them!

I highly recommend them, I buy mine at Vitacost. Low price for a quality supplement company.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
