Amazing Lectures At The Gluten Summit

At least with vit B12, it is a digestion issue, as we age, and apparently with interstinal/stomache/gallbladder issues, we don't break it out of food appropriately.

but with the supplement, on an empty stomach, our intestines can absorb tiny amounts of if.  Hence the large dose, 1000 mcg or more, for the 3 or so mcg absorbed

You can also take sublingual supplements or have shots, which would bypass the gut and solve the absorption problem.

This study shows that both sublingual and oral supplementation are effective: Open Original Shared Link

But I think if you are talking about someone just diagnosed with full blown Celiac, taking supplements orally will not be effective, if they are not absorbing well or at all.

2 problems with shots long term= they are usually cyanocabolamin (sp) rather than the methyl- variety. and they are doctor driven, ie, need a script for them, and docs can be stingy with it.  But short term, emergent, yup.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.
