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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
